Check out this new wonderful book on William Greaves, director of "Nationtime" (recently restored by IndieCollect) and many more wonderful films!
WILLIAM GREAVES: FILMMAKING AS MISSION
Edited by Scott MacDonald and Jacqueline Najuma Stewart
William Greaves is one of the most significant and compelling American filmmakers of the past century. Best known for his experimental film about its own making, Symbiopsychotaxiplasm: Take One, Greaves was an influential independent documentary filmmaker who produced, directed, shot, and edited more than a hundred films on a variety of social issues and on key African American figures ranging from Muhammad Ali to Ralph Bunche to Ida B. Wells. A multitalented artist, his career also included stints as a songwriter, a member of the Actors Studio, and, during the late 1960s, a producer and cohost of Black Journal, the first national television show focused on African American culture and politics.
This volume provides the first comprehensive overview of Greaves’s remarkable career. It brings together a wide range of material, including a mix of incisive essays from critics and scholars, Greaves’s own writings, an extensive meta-interview with Greaves, conversations with his wife and collaborator Louise Archambault Greaves and his son David, and a critical dossier on Symbiopsychotaxiplasm. Together, they illuminate Greaves’s mission to use filmmaking as a tool for transforming the ways African Americans were perceived by others and the ways they saw themselves. This landmark book is an essential resource on Greaves’s work and his influence on independent cinema and African-American culture.

Live Virtual Conversation with Mario Van Peebles on THE STORY OF A THREE DAY PASS

April 16 at 9:00 am (Pacific)
Watch this wonderful tribute to cinematographer Judy Irola on the "Sons of the South" film instagram account:
In Memory of Judy Irola
We honor the memory of Judy Irola who introduced our director Barry to his subject Bob Zellner and thus started the life-long friendship which culminated into Son of the South.
Judy Irola’s passing on February 20, 2021, was a great shock to all who knew and admired her. She was one of a small group of women cinematographers who forced open doors in a field dominated and monopolized by men. She was the third woman admitted to the ASC (American Society of Cinematographers) and the only woman member of Cine Manifest, a radical film collective founded in San Francisco in 1972. She also broke ground later as the first woman to chair the cinematography department at USC’s film school. (Sandra Schulberg, IndieCollect)
