ABOUT THE FILM
“L.A. Rebellion: A Cinematic Movement” - Premieres Wed., Oct. 18 at 9 p.m. on KCET / Fri., Oct. 20 at 8 p.m. on PBS SoCal
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 the 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.
