Kip Fulbeck's Banana Split (USA, 1990, 37 mins) consists of interwoven narratives, stories, and media clips focusing on self-identity and biracial (happa) ethnicity. Fulbeck focuses on his parents' relationships toward one another and toward each other's culture. "Fulbeck's backward glance is rife with contradictions springing from dual cultures. An inveterate storyteller, Fulbeck recounts hilarious autobiographical tales of his 'split' life as a child of mixed parentage. These clever, well-nuanced stories are presented with an irony that comes from shifting cultural footing" (Steve Seid). A Question of Color (Kathe Sandler, 1985, 58 mins) is the first documentary to confront color-consciousness in the African American community-one of the most destructive legacies of American slavery. The "black-is-beautiful" movement of the '60s notwithstanding, the caste system within the black community, based on how closely skin color, hair texture, and facial features conform to a European ideal, exists today. A Question of Color examines its effect on everything from employment to friendships, and its particular burden on women.
