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.

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)

"Among the great American films of the sixties." - Richard Brody, New Yorker
Melvin Van Peebles’s edgy, angsty, romantic first feature could never have been made in America. Unable to break into a segregated Hollywood, Van Peebles decamped to France, taught himself the language, and wrote a number of books in French, one of which, LA PERMISSION (THE STORY OF A THREE-DAY PASS), would become his stylistically innovative feature debut.
New 4K restoration by IndieCollect in consultation with Mario Van Peebles, with support from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.

“The Show the Pentagon Couldn’t Stop!” In 1971, at the height of the Vietnam War, Jane Fonda and Donald Sutherland toured an anti-war comedy show across Southeast Asia. It was directly engaged with and inspired by veterans against the war and, naturally, it upset U.S. military higher-ups. The F.T.A. tour was highly controversial and was a huge success among stationed soldiers. In spite of positive reviews and business, director Francine Parker’s film version was quickly taken out of circulation due to political pressures and has been difficult to see for decades.

Melvin Van Peebles' edgy, angsty, romantic first feature could never have been made in America. Unable to break into a segregated Hollywood, Van Peebles decamped to France, taught himself the language and wrote a number of books in French, one of which, "La Permission," would become his stylistically innovative feature debut. Turner (Harry Baird), an African-American soldier stationed in France, is granted a promotion and a three-day leave from base by his casually racist commanding officer and heads to Paris, where he finds whirlwind romance with a white woman (Nicole Berger) — but what happens to their love when his furlough is over? Channeling the brash exuberance of the French New Wave, Van Peebles creates an exploration of the psychology of an in*******al relationship as well as a commentary on France's contradictory attitudes about race that is playful, sarcastic and stingingly subversive by turns, and that laid the foundation for the scorched-earth cinematic revolution he would unleash just a few years later with SWEET SWEETBACK'S BAADASSSSS SONG.
New 4K restoration opening next Friday, May 14 by IndieCollect in consultation with Mario Van Peebles, with support from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.

“What most histories don’t tell you is that an equally widespread and powerful movement against the [Vietnam] War existed inside the military itself.”

Here are our thoughts on the Kino Lorber reissue of the 1959 film “Jazz on a Summer’s Day.” “It's a joy to watch to this day, and the 4K restoration by IndieCollect does it ample justice: the sound is crisp, the images sometimes shockingly intimate.”
In 1971, at the height of the Vietnam War, Jane Fonda and Donald Sutherland toured a controversial yet highly popular anti-war comedy show across Southeast Asia.
We're bringing IndieCollect's restoration of F.T.A. to virtual cinemas starting March 5.
Sad to note that actress Carol Dickerson Sutton died of Covid-19 on December 10 in New Orleans. Carol had turned 76 a few days before.
Her obituary by John Pope omits mention of her extraordinary performance in CANE RIVER — one of the best roles of her prestigious career. Director Horace Jenkins's movie was lost from view for nearly 40 years, but now Sutton's performance is immortalized in a recent restoration by IndieCollect. You can see Carol Sutton in this amazing movie on demand through Oscilloscope here: https://caneriver.oscilloscope.net/ .
