Foundations: The L.A. Rebellion and Birth of a New Black Cinema

Welcome back! In this episode, we're diving deep into the L.A. Rebellion—a groundbreaking movement that redefined Black independent cinema. This episode comes ahead of Foundations: The L.A. Rebellion and the Birth of a New Black Cinema, our Black History Month screening series at Ours in Richmond, Virginia, running throughout February. We’ll explore the origins of the movement, the visionary filmmakers who shaped it, the films that emerged from it, and why its legacy remains essential to both cinematic and Black history.
