Just discovered this here on the BBC website.
Quoting the blurb on the website "Oscar Micheaux was a visionary and revolutionary force as a filmmaker, entrepreneur and novelist, and undeniably black America's first multimedia champion.
During the first half of the 20th century he wrote, produced and directed 40 feature-length films in every genre including musicals, Westerns, romances, comedies and gangster stories.
In this programme Professor Ed Guerrero meets with Director Pearl Bowser, Emmy winning producer Sam Pollard and writer Clyde Taylor to explore Micheaux's unique place in black cinema's cultural, political and aesthetic history."
I'll be listening to this later. It may not be available to FWFR's who aren't in the UK, but give it a go. It's only available for the next 7 days from now.
Happy listening  |
