L.A. Rebellion: Creating a New Black Cinema, DVD Anthology 1971-2006"L.A. Rebellion" refers to a critical mass of filmmakers of African origin or descent who together produced a rich, innovative, sustained and intellectually rigorous body of work, independent of any entertainment industry influence. Coming out of UCLA, they envisioned a new independent "Black" cinema, sensitive to the real lives of Black communities in the United States and worldwide. This is the first DVD box set of the moving image legacy of the L.A. Rebellion, which has been created to further a sustained intellectual engagement with the movement as a social phenomenon. While the L.A. Rebellion produced a host of feature fiction films and documentaries, the DVD box set focuses on the many short films produced by the group, representing the broadest selection of filmmakers possible. In making the DVD box set anthology available to institutions of learning for teaching purposes, UCLA Film & Television Archive hopes to keep the memory of this important movement alive for future generations. Not Rated. |
