Summary of In the Shadow of Hollywood: Race Movies & the Birth of Black Cinema
They were called race movies: films produced during the first half of the 20th century as a direct response to Hollywood s negative portrayal of Blacks in cinema. Race movies starred all-Black casts, were intended for all-Black audiences, and were often the work of pioneer Black filmmakers like Oscar Micheaux and Spencer Williams. Unfortunately, all but a fraction of the 500 race movies made were lost. Now the era of early Black cinema has been resurrected in this haunting new documentary. Featuring footage of recently discovered race movies, In the Shadow of Hollywood captures the sounds and images of a bygone era, profiles the fascinating lives and careers of black filmmaking pioneers and screen stars, and explores the lasting legacy of this misunderstood and nearly-forgotten film genre.African American Cinema DVD Video
