TORONTO -- "Gospel Hill," the directorial debut of Giancarlo Esposito, will open the ninth edition of the ReelWorld Film Festival on April 15, organizers said Wednesday.

The U.S. indie, about a decades-old investigation into the death of a civil rights leader, stars Danny Glover and Angela Bassett and also features Esposito, Julia Stiles, Taylor Kitsch and Nia Long.

The brainchild of actress Tonya Lee Williams ("The Young & the Restless"), the Toronto showcase for culturally diverse filmmakers will close April 19 with the Bollywood romantic comedy "Aloo Chaat," directed by Robby Grewal and starring Aamna Shariff and Aftab Shivdasani.

Also in the ReelWorld pipeline is an international premiere of Hong Kong's "Kung Fu Hip Hop," a Cantonese-language film about three dance-competition entrants from director Huayang Fu, and Jaffar Mahmood's "Shades of Ray," which stars Zachary Levi and Brian George.

Other U.S. films in the lineup include Gerald Barclay's "Wu: The Story of the Wu-Tang Clan" and Tyler Perry's "The Family That Preys."

Ebony Magazine: Giancarlo Esposito - Director, Activist

http://www.ebonyjet.com/history09/?p=78

At the Uptown Theater in Upper Northwest, the Congressional Black Caucus Institute sponsored the premiere of Giancarlo Esposito’s independent film, Gospel Hill starring Esposito, Angela Bassett, Danny Glover, Nia Long and an uncredited Samuel L. Jackson as a slain civil rights leader whose life and memory leave an indelible mark on the people left behind in a small South Carolina town.

The movie moves like the sleepy southern town it represents, slow but increasingly profound as it digs deeper. There were one or two winking Spike Lee inspirations in the storytelling, but aside from that Esposito is developing his own unique and passionate style. Bassett, Glover and Esposito all attended the screening and too Q&A after. Also in the audience - Tim and Daphne Reid and actor Glynn Turman.

Tonight at the Uptown Theatre
