AFRICAN-AMERICAN CINEMA

The history of the African-American Cinema is a harsh timeline of , repression and struggle contrasted with film scenes of boundless joy, hope and artistic spirit. Until recently, the study of the "separate cinema" (a phrase used by historians John Kisch and Edward Mapp to describe the segregation of the mainstream, film ) was limited, if not totally ignored, by writers and researchers. The uphill battle by black filmmakers and performers, to achieve acceptance and respect, was an ugly blot on the pages of film history. Upon winning his Best Oscar for LILLIES OF THE FIELD (1963), accepted, on behalf of the countless unsung African-American artists, by acknowledging the "long journey to this moment." This emotional, heartbreaking and inspiring journey is vividly illustrated by the latest acquisition to the Belknap Collection for the Performing Arts - THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN CINEMA COLLECTION.

The valuable research material, housed in this collection, includes over 300 pressbooks (illustrated campaign and advertising catalogs sent to owners), press kits (media packages including biographies, promotional essays and illustrations), programs and over 1000 photographs and slides. The journey begins with the blatant racism of D.W. Griffith's (1915), a film respected as an epic milestone, but reviled as the blueprint for black film that would appear throughout the . Researchers will follow African-American films through an extended period of stereotypical casting ( OF THE SOUTH, 1946) and will be dazzled by the glorious "All-Negro" musicals such as STORMY WEATHER (1943), ST.LOUIS (1958) and (1959). The post-war era introduces the serious black actor to the American moviegoer (Sidney Poitier in , in BRIGHT ROAD and in ), but the promise was greater than reality.

The period of "Blacksploitation" or "" in the late and 70s is a major area covered in the African- American Cinema Collection. Films such as , SUPERFLY, SCREAM, BLACULA ,SCREAM and offered flashy lead roles to black , but action and grit often overshadowed character development and plotlines. However, the film output did prove the audience for black film was present and eager. The "New Black Wave", beginning in the (led by directors such as Lee and ) was the culmination of a century of filmmaking and yearning. Films such as (1989) and (1991) tackled serious topics that crossed racial lines and appealed to mainstream audiences. As the new century began, the black actor would find himself among the major box office stars of the day, and actors such as , and would win Oscars for serious, high-profile and varied roles. The African-American filmmaker was finally earning the respect that was long overdue.

The acquisition of the African-American Cinema material lays an important foundation for a collection that will expand to include promotional material for black contributions, independent "race films" (made for black theatre audiences in the , 40s and 50s), the "all-colored" Westerns and the African-American musical contributions from the advent of the talking film to present day videos. As it stands, the AFRICAN-AMERICAN CINEMA COLLECTION is an impressive overview of the black film experience, but the collection is a work in progress and far from complete.
