It is my hope to express my gratitude to those friends, family and mentors now. First, I want to express my most sincere thanks to my graduate advisor, Janet Staiger. From the first day I met her at a conference while I was still a lowly master’s student up until now that she knows me as a lowly doctoral student, it has been such a grand pleasure and honor to know and work with the woman who co-wrote the book we all have to read in film studies. In a word, it was Janet’s steadiness that enabled me to complete this process. Never one to push or hound, somehow she knew that I would finish in a timely fashion and never changed tactics or made me feel that she did not trust my efforts.

  • From Headscarves to Afros: Redefining African-American
    From Headscarves to Afros 1 FROM HEADSCARVES TO AFROS: REDEFINING AFRICAN-AMERICAN FEMININITY AND EMPOWERMENT IN SELECTED 1970s BLACK ACTION FILMS (published in Ethnic Media: Taking Control, vol 3 eds. Guy T. Miess and Alice Tait: Kendall/Hunt Dubuque, Iowa, 2005 pages 213-229)) Yvonne D. Sims, Ph.D INTRODUCTION In the early 1970s, movie audiences witnessed the emergence of a new genre that provided African-American actresses with their first opportunity to move beyond the confines of domestic and seductress roles. This chapter presents the views of actors and actresses who starred in the popular and successful Black action films, as well as the perspectives of the directors and studio executives responsible for their development. It focuses primarily on the voices and performances of two Black actresses, Pam Grier and Tamara Dobson, who created a new type of onscreen heroine that helped to redefine African-American femininity. For African-American actresses, the genre offered a drastic change from the historic representations of the mammy and the Jezebel stereotypes that had routinely defined the range of roles available to them. The chapter examines three highly successful Black action films and explores the contributions that their stars made to the evolution of Hollywood’s portrayal of African-American women by the way they interpreted those roles. The films are Coffy, Foxy Brown and Cleopatra Jones. Pam Grier and Tamara Dobson are the stars who created those memorable characters and, in From Headscarves to Afros 2 the process, redefined popular culture’s concepts of beauty, sexuality and womanhood for onscreen African-American women.

    NATIONTIME A film by William Greaves 1972 / U.S. / 80 min. / In English Press materials: www.kinolorber.com Distributor Contact: Kino Lorber 333 W. 39th Street New York, NY 10018 (212) 629-6880 Sales: Jonathan Hertzberg, [email protected] ​ Publicity: Tracey Mendelsohn, [email protected] ​ Janet Dickerson, [email protected] ​ ​ David Ninh, [email protected] ​ About NATIONTIME: NATIONTIME is the long-lost film that William Greaves made about the National Black Political Convention of 1972, when 10,000 black politicians, activists and artists went to Gary, Indiana, to forge a national unity platform in advance of the Republican and Democratic presidential conventions. The delegates included a wide array of political thinkers — Black Panther co-founder Bobby Seale, Pan-Africanist Amiri Baraka, PUSH founder Jesse Jackson, elected officials Ron Dellums, Charles Diggs, Walter Fauntroy, Richard Hatcher, Carl McCall, plus key women in the fight for racial equality -- Coretta Scott King, Betty Shabazz, Fannie Lou Hamer and Queen Mother Moore (who was arguing for reparations). Entertainers Harry Belafonte, Dick Gregory, Isaac Hayes and Richard Roundtree lent their star quality and entertained the crowds. Sidney Poitier & Harry Belafonte narrate the film. One of the most powerful films Greaves ever made, this is the director’s original 90-minute version that was never released. Found in a Pittsburgh warehouse in 2018, the 48-year-old negative was painstakingly restored by IndieCollect under the supervision of Louise Greaves, the director’s widow and filmmaking partner. It re-emerges at a time when the Black Lives Matter movement is galvanizing support across the nation. As we head into the presidential conventions of 2020, NATIONTIME is a must-see for all who care about ending racist attitudes and practices in this country, once and for all.
