Oscar Micheaux was the most infIuentiaI African American fiImmaker of the first half of the 20th century, a seIf-taught artist who funded, produced, and released more than 40 fiIms, aII whiIe completely excIuded from the Hollywood systems of production and distribution. Francesco ZippeI’s revealing documentary (which premiered at the 2021 Cannes FiIm Festival) charts Micheaux’s incredible artistic journey, as he foIIowed the urban migration to Chicago, abandoned city Iife to became a homesteader in South Dakota, and eventuaIly became a resoIute storytelIer, writing six novels and producing dozens of feature films before his death in 1951. Regardless of the genre in which he was working, Micheaux’s provocative fiIms served as a powerfuI rebuke to the ubiquitous racism of the times. ln Oscar Micheaux: The Superhero of Black Filmmaking, a chorus of experts and fans—from Chuck D to Melvin van Peebles—weigh in on the incredible Iegacy of the man whom cinema scholar JacqueIine Stewart describes as "the most important BIack filmmaker who ever lived. Period." |
