Op-Ed: Why we need Black filmmakers to tell the story of 2020 (via latimesopinion)
Watching protesters fill the streets across the globe over the police killings of African Americans, I thought of the opening words of Freedom’s Journal, the first Black-owned and operated newspaper in the United States: “We wish to plead our own cause. Too long have others spoken for us. Too long has the publick been deceived by misinterpretations, in things which concern us dearly.”
The story shouting out at us today is one of national reckoning. The brutal killing of George Floyd may have ignited the protests. But it was the COVID-19 pandemic that re-arranged the firewood.The pandemic doesn’t show how we were all in this together.
It’s time that film distribution companies, financiers and film festivals made a commitment to transformation of their leadership. White directors and producers who want to tell stories about people of color should instead help a filmmaker of color to tell that story. Production companies and sales agents who leverage long-standing industry relationships should examine how their practices marginalize filmmakers and audiences of color.
