Пълно описание

In "Uplift Cinema," Allyson Nadia Field recovers the significant yet forgotten legacy of African American filmmaking in the 1910s. Like the racial uplift project, this cinema emphasized economic self-sufficiency, education, and respectability as the keys to African American progress. Field discusses films made at the Tuskegee and Hampton Institutes to promote education, as well as the controversial "The New Era," which was made at Hampton and shown as an anti-racist response to D.W. Griffith's "The Birth of a Nation." She also shows how Black filmmakers in New York and Chicago engaged with uplift through the promotion of Black modernity. Uplift cinema, Field demonstrates, developed not just as a response to on-screen racism, but constituted an original engagement with the new medium that has had a deep and lasting significance for the development, dissemination, and African American engagement with motion pictures. Although none of these films survived, Field's examination of archival film ephemera presents a method for studying lost films that opens up new frontiers for exploring early film culture.
