Following the Watts Uprising of 1965, UCLA’s School of Theater, Film and Television organized to recruit students from Black, Asian, Chicano, and Native American communities as part of their “ethno-communications” initiative. The filmmakers that came out of this historic moment—Charles Burnett, Haile Gerima, and Julie Dash, to name a few—were collectively known as the L.A. Rebellion. Many of these groundbreaking artists are included in the oral histories collection at the Getty Research Institute.This screening of the Emmy-winning Artbound episode “L.A. Rebellion: A Cinematic Movement” (premiered on PBS in 2023) examines how the filmmakers of the L.A. Rebellion developed revolutionary styles that upended Hollywood’s restrictive representation of minorities. Following the screening, Getty Research Institute curator LeRonn Brooks will join the episode’s directors Bryant Griffin and Kitty Hu as well as L.A. Rebellion director Julie Dash for a conversation on the historical and contemporary role of Black film as a revolutionary practice.
