Résumé
An illustrated history that celebrates the legacy of Black actors, films, and filmmakers from the silent era through today and explores the deeply embedded racism of the film industry, from the award-winning author of The Black Panther PartyIn Black Film, Eisner Award-winning author David F. Walker presents an immersive dive into the crucial history of Black actors, films, and filmmakers. Following closely behind the very first moving picture captured by Eadward Muybridge in 1872, Thomas Edison's thirty-second "actualities" from the late 1890s, including A Watermelon Contest and Dancing Darkey Boy, are among the first short films to depict Black people.
These can be considered the earliest examples of how the film industry would go on to exploit, appropriate, and shape the narrative of Black people for the duration of its development. Divided by decade, each section of the book covers an important era and milestone for Black film, highlighting both difficulties and triumphs through time. For example: The harmful popularization of blackface and minstrel shows (1890-1914) The emergence of racist feature-length movies such as Birth of a Nation after the advancement of sound in film, countered by the success of pioneering Black filmmakers such as Oscar Michaeux and brothers George and Noble Johnson (1915-1928) The rise of trailblazing actors such as Sidney Poitier and Dorothy Dandridge (1950-1959) The roots of Blaxploitation as a subgenre and how Black people ultimately saved Hollywood during trying times (1970-1979) The exciting crossover of hip-hop music into film (1980-1989) The box office success of Marvel's The Black Panther, Moonlight's history-making Best Picture win, and more.
With gorgeous illustrations, film stills, and rare pieces of ephemera, Black Film celebrates the glowing contributions of Black actors and filmmakers, without shying away from discussing the racism that is rooted in Hollywood-an important reality to address in order to make progress.
