L.A. Rebellion

Museum of the Moving Image, Astoria

Creating a New Black Cinema. A groundbreaking survey of 36 independent films made by African and African American filmmakers at UCLA beginning in the 1970s. The films produced by these mostly unheralded artists, including Charles Burnett, Julie Dash, Larry Clark, Haile Gerima, Billy Woodberry, and many others, created a unique cinematic landscape that explored and related to the real lives of Black communities in the United States and worldwide. The films in the series, part of a national tour organized by UCLA Film & Television Archive, will screen on weekends from February 2 through 24, 2013, at the Museum-the only New York venue for the series. Highlights include personal appearances by Haile Gerima on February 10 with his debut feature Bush Mama, starring Barbara O. as a Chicago welfare mother who has a political awakening, and Jacqueline Stewart, one of the curators for the L.A Rebellion series, with Zeinabu irene Davis's feature Compensation on February 24, the closing day of the series. Ms. Stewart is the author of Migrating to the Movies: Cinema and Black Urban Modernity (2005) and teaches in the Radio/Television/Film and African American Studies departments at Northwestern University.
