Belknap Collection for the Performing Arts - the AFRICAN-AMERICAN CINEMA COLLECTION
AFRICAN-AMERICAN CINEMA CINEMA AFRICAN-AMERICAN CINEMA The history of the African-American Cinema is a harsh timeline of racism, 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, Hollywood film community) 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 Actor Oscar for LILLIES OF THE FIELD (1963), Sidney Poitier 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 theatre 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 THE BIRTH OF A NATION (1915), a film respected as an epic milestone, but reviled as the blueprint for black film stereotypes that would appear throughout the 20th century. Researchers will follow African-American films through an extended period of stereotypical casting (SONG OF THE SOUTH, 1946) and will be dazzled by the glorious "All-Negro" musicals such as STORMY WEATHER (1943), ST.LOUIS BLUES (1958) and PORGY AND BESS (1959).

Fallacy of the Nut Pussy: Cross Dressing, Black Comedy, and Women
Fallacy of the Nut Pussy: Cross Dressing, Black Comedy, and Women KATRINA THOMPSON MOORE At the 2009 Black Entertainment Television music awards show, a parody of a movie trailer was shown. It begins with the backside image of a hefty Black woman, walking in a floral-print dress while wearing a gray-haired wig. Words appear on the screen: “You’ve seen the grandmother go to the picnic. You’ve seen the grandmother go to jail, but what do you know about the original mad Black woman?” As the background music starts, an image of two Black women figures appears on the screen. Both women rob a bank with guns in hand. These characters are wearing blond wigs and long colorful fingernails, and each has protruding, colorful lips and an overly large, padded buttocks. In the midst of the bank robbery, a White male security guard heroically runs into the bank, yelling, “Freeze, Skanks!” Within this two-minute movie trailer, the audience learns that this film is titled Skank Robbers, brought to them by the makers of Godzilla and the producers of Planet of the Apes. At the end of the clip, a deep, masculine voice tells the audience, “She’s the brain, she’s the brawn, and they’re both the ugly” (Stephenson). This phony movie trailer was so well received it was considered as a possible film by Screen Gems Film Company (“What Ever Happened”). This parody offered images of three of the most popular cross-dressed performances of Black male comedians from the 1990s until today: Martin Lawrence’s role as Sheneneh Jenkins in the Fox television series Martin, Jamie Foxx’s character, Wanda, from the Fox comedy series In Living Color, and most recently, Tyler Perry’s portrayal and franchise of Madea in numerous films and television and theater productions.
