The movie: Within Our Gates (1920) Joshua makes Ian watch the oldest surviving movie made by a Black filmmaker, with hopes that it will spark some desire to watch "Birth of a Nation." Will Ian be convinced? Are there messages in this film still relevant 100 years later? How far have we really come as a nation? http://www.crackerclassics.com https://www.patreon.com/crackerclassics

The Black Film Canon, published in 2016 by Slate, accumulated the 50 best films by Black filmmakers, including movies like “Do The Right Thing” and the 1920 silent film “Within Our Gates.” Thanks to films like “Moonlight” and “Get Out,” a 2023 update was due, and in collaboration with NPR The New Black Film Canon was born. The collection now includes 75 films, where they're streaming and what made them groundbreaking. Pop Culture Happy Hour's Aisha Harris and Slate's Dan Kois join us to celebrate, look back and examine how “we're now living in a different world for Black film.” Related Link(s): The New Black Film Canon Guests: Aisha Harris, host of Pop Culture Happy Hour, NPR Dan Kois, writer, Slate W.

On this episode Chicago based musician, producer, composer, photographer, and educator, Alvin Cobb Jr. joins us to talk about his new score for Oscar Micheaux's 1919 film Within Our Gates. Cobb will be performing the score with his trio at FilmScene on January 19. We also briefly touch on a few other events happening in the coming weeks.

Oscar Micheaux was a pioneering African American filmmaker whose earliest surviving feature, Within Our Gates, grapples directly with the external and internal conflicts uniquely positioned against the Black community during the Jim Crow era of American History. For Micheaux, these struggles were contemporary, but even today, the themes and truths of his films resonate, as the historical oppression which saw the limitation of his opportunities as a filmmaker also sought to erase his legacy as a whole, were it not for the enduring efforts of his entrepreneurial ambitions. Let Micheaux's legacy be the benchmark for our endeavor here, the flagship film representing our cause to reframe the narrative of film history through the resurrection of nearly lost works, in the same way Micheaux has stood as the paragon of early American race films, and as an icon of pioneering Black filmmakers at large.Many thanks to Graham Austin and Jack Davenport for the creation of our beautiful logo art and theme music respectively.

In anticipation for our 100th episode, we're doing something special here at 1001 by 1. Each week, we will discuss a film celebrating an anniversary and then jump a decade later to discuss a different film celebrating an anniversary (1920, 1930, 1940, etc.). To start all the way back in 1920 to discuss a film celebrating its 100th anniversary, we were only given one option…but we are sure glad it was the only film to pick from: Oscar Micheaux's “Within Our Gates”. During the episode, Adam & Ian discuss not knowing much (if anything) about Micheaux before watching the film, the unfortunately still relevant topics being examined in the film, and the “white savior” characters in films discussing race. Also, this week Adam recommends “Hamilton” (Available on Disney+) and Ian recommends “Da 5 Bloods” (Available on Netflix).

Percy Smith, and Chaplin's The Immigrant. in timeline B, we discuss Frederick Wiseman's City Hall, an epic 4.5 hour portrait of how beantown operates from 2020.

On this episode of Retro Grade Podcast, we talk about a movie over 100 years old. We talk about the oldest surviving film from a Black director. The movie is Oscar Micheaux's Within Out Gates from 1920. This is the first silent film we've done on the podcast, and also a film neither of the hosts had even heard about until visiting the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles. We wanted to really focus on a Black filmmaker for the last episode that will be released during Black history month, and could not have picked a better one than Oscar Micheaux The film is about a young Black woman named Sylvia who works as a school teacher and must try to raise money to save her school, however events of her past continue to haunt her. When the film was released, it was met with praise, but also contempt, censorship and outright banned by some theaters in fear that it would reignite race riots like the ones in Chicago in 1919, and was thought to be lost to history until accidentally discovered in Spain in the 1970's. However, just 5 years before, D. W. Griffith's Birth of a Nation was met with praise, financial success, unsuccessfully banned, endorsed by the President, made its place in history as one of the first feature length films in history.. AND ALSO depicted the Ku Klux Klan as a heroic force that preserved American virtue, was used to recruit new members into the KKK, and ignited riots that left at least one Black teenager dead in Lafayette, Indiana. If Within Our Gates was meant to depict multiple representations of the African-American experience, why was it met with such hostility and neglect? What does it say about us as a NationWe discuss why the film was so controversial, who Oscar Micheaux was, what the historical context for the film was (including its bizarre final two minutes,) and how despite being over 100 years old, the film's themes and side stories hold up better than some other ones we have covered.Hope you enjoy!Music is from Triune Digital and audio clips pulled from movies we will be reviewing in other episodes.Artwork by @jannelle_o

This week Mtume (@sirccoregant) and Adam (@TheHonorableAT) are ecstatic to have Dr. Jared Ball (@imixwhatilike) who is a father and husband and after that, he is a professor of Media and Africana Studies and produces multimedia for imixwhatilike.org. He joins Within Our Gates this week to discuss his Vernon Philosophy of Black Media Avoidance, and we discuss how and why Black people need to consider this particular lens when looking at Hollywood Cinema and media in general when Black people or Blackness is the subject. We go A LOT of places! Check it!

This week's guest is Brooke Ashly. We talk about a couple of films by African American directors for Black History Month. This week's films are: Within Our Gates and She's Gotta Have It (1986).  This week's episode title is inspired by the song "Love and Happiness" by Al Green.  Dial F for Film is a podcast about the love of movies and host's -- J. Carlos Menjivar -- attempt to watch 1001 movies before he dies. A lover of lists and film, Carlos is a firm believer that all film lists should be tackled with one goal in mind: completion. Steven Jay Schneider's "1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die" is the subject of this podcast. Each episode features one guest and five movies from the massive list, compiled into themed lists by the host. Guests each week will select one category without any prior knowledge as to what films are included. Once a category is chosen, Carlos reveals the five films and the viewing begins. The guests then come on Dial F for Film via Zoom and the discussion begins.

Within Our Gates is BACK. This time with our new regular co-host Adam Thomas. This week we dive into the legacy of Cannon films and how their cinematic "cannon" think it gives evidence to how the white right-wing of today developed and our general xenophobic attitudes here in the U.S.

We cover two films from Oscar Micheaux (Within Our Gates, Body and Soul) in our latest director's spotlight. Within Our Gates, released in 1919, is the earliest surviving movie from an African American director. Body and Soul features the debut of Paul Robeson. Both films, as well as a handful of Micheaux's work, are streaming on Criterion Channel.  Email info@findyourseen.com for questions! Bruce Purkey's video reviews are on Rustomire.  We're on Facebook, Twitter, & Instagram.

Support the show! This month we discuss the role of censorship in filmmaking, starting off with Oscar Micheaux’s seminal work, Within Our Gates. What kind of art were black filmmakers producing at this early period in film history? What were the effects of censorship, internal or external, on “race films” like this one? Why are silent films so prone to working with character archetypes?

This week on the eve of the election we are here to talk about the 1972 Film Nation Time Directed by William Greaves which documents the National Black Political Convention in Gary. I'm joined by Rezizstans Nwa family member Adam Thomas (@TheHonorableAT) making his podcast debut (!) and we talk about the film and its parallels to today. We touch on the touchy subject of the "Black Political Agenda", figures like Ice Cube and Jesse Jackson and also how we recognize what a Black Film actually is.

Arthur and Andrew begin their hundred film marathon with Oscar Micheaux’s Within Our Gates (1920), known for being the oldest surviving film made by an African-American director. We also discuss early silent cinema, D.W. Griffith’s The Birth of a Nation (1915), and racial issues in America post-World War.Within Our Gates (1920) IMDBWithin Our Gates - Where to watch (also in public domain)The Chicago Defender 1920 Review of Within Our GatesThe Phantom Carriage (1921) IMDBThe Phantom Carriage - Where to watch (also in public domain)

This week Mtume is on a solo mission to lay down the aims of Within Our Gates, the reason for the name of the podcast, his own history and what he means when he says the phrase “Black Cinematic Tradition.”

In anticipation for our 100th episode, we’re doing something special here at 1001 by 1. Each week, we will discuss a film celebrating an anniversary and then jump a decade later to discuss a different film celebrating an anniversary (1920, 1930, 1940, etc.). To start all the way back in 1920 to discuss a film celebrating its 100th anniversary, we were only given one option…but we are sure glad it was the only film to pick from: Oscar Micheaux’s “Within Our Gates”. During the episode, Adam & Ian discuss not knowing much (if anything) about Micheaux before watching the film, the unfortunately still relevant topics being examined in the film, and the “white savior” characters in films discussing race. Also, this week Adam recommends “Hamilton” (Available on Disney+) and Ian recommends “Da 5 Bloods” (Available on Netflix). Want to suggest a film for us to review on the show?

In this first solo episode I drink the joaquin dead mexican red ale by evans brewing while discussing Oscar Micheaux and his second film 'Within Our Gates'

Jilted by her fiance, Sylvia Landry (Evelyn Preer) returns down south to her roots, and takes a job teaching at the Piney Woods school for black children. With the school facing bankruptcy, Sylvia journeys north to Boston to try to raise funds. After much hardship, she secures the finances from a wealthy philanthropist and returns home in triumph to her beloved school. At the moment of her greatest joy a shadowy figure emerges to blackmail Sylvia. She is forced to either flee or have her tragic past revealed. Within Our Gates is the earliest surviving feature by legendary pioneering filmmaker Oscar Micheaux. Created as a response to D.W. Griffith's The Birth Of A Nation which depicted southern whites in need of the KKK to protect them, Micheaux shows the reality of Dixie racism in 1920, where a black man could be lynched for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. His bold feature length productions which asserted an educated black man's point of view and featured black stars and all black casts, continued for three decades and included dramas, comedies, westerns and musicals. In response to current events over the murder of George Floyd, our team recording the Watching Silent Films podcast touched upon this 100 year old film by African American director Oscar Micheaux. From 1920-2020 and discussing our thoughts outside of the published broadcast, we not only see black voices being smothered out over these years, we find that "minority" directors like Micheaux are few and hard to come by. We find that by talking about these silent films might promote inclusivity to the directors, actors, and crew which might otherwise be snuffed out due to ignorance and neglect.

Oscar Micheaux was the first African American to direct a feature-length film, and no other filmmaker of his age tackled the issues facing black America so directly and painfully. We watched his masterpiece WITHIN OUR GATES (1920) and discussed Micheaux's complicated career and the "race films" of the early 20th century. PLUS: Gone with the Wind! Glossy Time-Life magazines! Luke discusses debating capitalism v. socialism! Will works out his feelings towards Toronto's Garfield-themed restaurant!

Lee and Daniel return to look at some more silent films. This week it's two very notable examples of early films dealing with race relations. First off it's D.W. Griffith's "Broken Blossoms" (1919), and then they tackle Oscar Micheaux's "Within Our Gates" (1920). How drunk does Lee have to get in this recording in order to handle some of the awful things that pop up in both films? Topics include Griffith's legacy and the importance of films that are well-made, but clearly still racist as fuck; Lillian Gish's acting chops; yellowface; Micheaux being critical of ideas from fellow Blacks about their place in America in his day; and how we give you, the listener, the audio "long sex". What we've watched recently and listener comments are also gone over. "Broken Blossoms" IMDB "Within Our Gates" IMDB Catch Lee's latest appearance on Get Soft With Dr. Snuggles Featured Music: "Redrum" & "Knife Chase" by Tom Waits; "White Blossom" by D.W. Griffith; and "Alabama" by Neil Young.

Within Our Gates opened in Chicago on January 12, 1920. It is believed that the film was Oscar Micheaux's response to the D.W. Griffith blockbuster, "The Birth of a Nation". In this episode, we discuss the ruckus surrounding the movie's release. Correction: I stated that Oscar Micheaux was born on January 8th, he was born on January 2nd. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/kindarispicturespodcast/support

With the ease of social media and convenience of cell phones, we may have opened the gates for enemy spies to gather information and meddle in our nation's affairs. In the wake of the most recent presidential election, the term "fake news" has made major headlines. Fake stories have proliferated our data streams, making it incredibly difficult to search for truth. Such stories has caused companies and governments to take steps to target suspected fake news sights, which creates frustrations and cries of free-speech violations. Fake News Recently, a CNN story reported that a group of internet entrepreneurs in Macedonia are preparing an entire onslaught of fake-news stories for America and the world. Their target subject and deadline? The 2020 US Presidential Election. In addition, it has been recently uncovered that a team of Russian computer spies created multiple Facebook groups and organized rallies in the US geared towards anti-immigration and hateful protests. Protection from Internet Spies We need to take better care to protect ourselves and our information. We need to end our involvement with these hidden subversives, and the best way to do that is to disconnect from online groups promoting violence, hatred, and division. America, and the world, is becoming divided. We are fighting amongst ourselves over so many differences that we are failing to see who the real enemy is. Instead of creating a harmonious and peaceful society, we are exposing our weaknesses and leaving ourselves vulnerable for a more-organized authority to step in and take control. The power is still in our hands, but it is slipping through our fingers like sand through the hour glass.

This is a black arts and culture site. We will be exploring the African Diaspora via the writing, performance, both musical and theatrical (film and stage), as well as the visual arts of Africans in the Diaspora and those influenced by these aesthetic forms of expression. I am interested in the political and social ramifications of art on society, specifically movements supported by these artists and their forebearers. It is my claim that the artists are the true revolutionaries, their work honest and filled with raw unedited passion. They are our true heroes. Ashay!  1. We speak to Dr. Adolphus Hailstock, composer and Maestro Michael Morgan, about Within Our Gates, the Oscar Micheaux film, at the SF Silent Film Festival, Sat., June 4, 5:15 p.m. at the Castro Theatre in San Francisco.  2. Joyce Jenkins, poet, editor, publisher, joins us to speak about the Northern CA Book Awards, Sun., May 16, 1 p.m., at the San Francisco Main Library, 100 Larkin Street in San Francisco.  Music: Zion Trinity; Victoria Theodore
