Скачать или смотреть Focus on Genre: Race Films

Curators Rhea Combs and Doris Berger, along with Academy Museum President and Director Jacqueline Stewart, discuss the history of race films. Between 1915 and 1948, more than 150 independent companies produced and distributed Black-cast movies, or “race films,” which offered an array of stories and roles for Black actors and were aimed at Black audiences. During this period, Black-owned production companies made melodramas, westerns, comedies, adventure films, and more.

This video was produced in conjunction with the exhibition “Regeneration: Black Cinema 1898–1971.”

"Regeneration: Black Cinema 1898–1971" explores the achievements and challenges of Black filmmakers in the US in independent production and within the studio system, both in front of the camera and behind it, from cinema’s infancy in the 1890s to the early 1970s.
