The L.A. Rebellion film movement was born in the late 20th century when a wave of Black graduates came through the UCLA Film School. The films this movement produced – largely inspired by the French New Wave, Italian neo-realism, and emerging African cinemas – act as an alternative to the Hollywood idea of American filmmaking.
With the ability to be both highly political and intimately personal, despite their wide variety of topics and styles, all of the films of the L.A. Rebellion pushed the boundaries of what stories are told, and by who.
Across four Sundays this October (Black History Month), you can catch these classic and under-screened films from directors Julie Dash, Charles Burnett, Billy Woodberry, and Zeinabu irene Davis.
