Institution:

Lane Community College

Subject:

Description:

4 credits This course gives students an introduction to African Americans' role in the history of Hollywood filmmaking, and the social, educational, and political climates that follow this cultural phenomenon of moviemaking. Several critical texts will reveal the historically complex and difficult relationship between black Americans and their desire to become an active, integral part of all aspects of the American film industry. Screenings of important films, class discussions, inside and outside of class group work, exams, and other relevant critical readings are essential aspects in guiding students' understanding of the peculiar problems offsetting African Americans' full, rigorous admittance into the Hollywood system.
