Blaxploitation Documentary


The early 1970s saw the rise of a new breed of screen hero: tough, anti-establishment, sexually raw...and black. Follow the evolution of \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"blaxploitation\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" action cinema with this funk-filled documentary that features clips from such seminal genre faves as \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"Sweet Sweetback\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s Baadasssss Song,\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"Shaft,\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"Superfly,\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" and \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"Coffy\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"; discussions with Pam Grier, Melvin Van Peebles, Richard Roundtree, Fred Williamson, Quentin Tarantino and others; and much more. 56 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital stereo; extended interviews.

Plot----------------------------

With archive film clips and interviews, this brief look at a frequently overlooked historical period of filmmaking acts as an introduction rather than a complete record. Features interviews with some of the genre\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s biggest stars, like Fred Williamson, Pam Grier, and Richard Roundtree. Director Melvin Van Peebles discusses the historical importance of his landmark film Sweet Sweetback\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s Baadasssss Song. For a contemporary perspective, the excitable Quentin Tarantino offers his spirited commentary and author/critic bell hooks provides some scholarly social analysis.

The music of Blaxploitation films is rightfully discussed, focusing on Curtis Mayfield\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s Superfly and Isaac Hayes\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\' Shaft. Also features interviews with writer/director Larry Cohen and film historian Armond White. BaadAsssss Cinema was originally shown on the Independent Film Channel in August 2002 as part of a week-long Blaxploitation film festival.
