LA Rebellion: A Cinematic Movement ()
Overview
Following the Watts Uprising, UCLA’s School of Theater, Film and Television enacted affirmative action policies to increase the enrollment of students of color in its film program—a group that had historically been underrepresented in the student population. The “ethno-communications” initiative to recruit students from Black, Asian, Chicano and Native American communities took on a movement of its own, when a critical mass of Black student filmmakers emerged known as the “L.A. Rebellion.” Includes interviews with Ben Caldwell, Larry Clark, Sandy Osawa, Eddie Wong and more.
