It takes a lot of courage for an artist to dive into one’s personal life and create something purely autobiographical for the entire world to see. In the case of cinema, it gives filmmakers a chance to take a look back at their lives through a creative lens and to reminisce their long-lost days. Indeed, whether it’s to look back fondly at their youth or tackle informative, and often difficult, moments in their past, directors will utilize the autobiographical film, not as a form of self-indulgence or vanity, but as an unearthing and a sharing of their stories in a way that belongs to them....

Around the world, herds of white middle-class mums have their kitchens decorated with alcoholic chic, an empty fridge, but a full wine rack of rouge; the sign sporting the phrase, “It’s 5 pm somewhere” proudly hung up, in place of a clock or piece of faux-Picasso, perhaps. Essentially, this article is seven-years overdue, though technically, just like those signs that subtly mask a middle-class mother’s alcoholism, “it’s 2015 somewhere." Yep, that’s right, it’s still only 2015 in Ethiopia due to their non-Gregorian calendar....
