indie black filmmaking can have. what? don t answer me what. turn the goddamnn tv off. i m watching the knicks. i don t care what it is. no tv on a school night. we talked about the spike lee films and the john singleton films but also it was a period when black female filmmakers are making some really interesting things. you have daughters of the dust, julie dash s film, examining black culture that harkens back several hundred years. that is beautiful. the one directed by leslie harris you re too cute to be a gentlemen, right? come on. you don t have to be like that. whatever, whatever. it s a quote, unquote hood movie but it s a hood movie from the perspective of a young girl. people think of new black realism as the hood genre. but actually there s a range of socioeconomic experience being shown in black cinema of the 90s. bow wow wow
