L.A. Rebellion Materials
- L.A. Rebellion collectionAs part of an effort to desegregate the UCLA School of Theater, Film, and Television in the late 1960s, a group of African and African-American students enrolled as part of an Ethno-Communications program. Here, these students gained access to the equipment and instruction needed in order to tell their stories. For approximately two decades, these students created a new type of cinema that would later be known as the LA Rebellion. These filmmakers represent an early effort to create a new and alternative practice of Black Cinema in the United States.
Processed materials consist of the papers of LA Rebellion filmmakers Larry Clark and Julie Dash.
