Academy Museum's latest exhibition 'Regeneration: Black Cinema 1898–1971' tells unknown history of independent American movies made with Black actors for Black audiences when cinemas were segregated
Regeneration: Black Cinema 1898–1971 opens at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures on August 21, 2022 in Los Angeles.
Starting with a recently re-discovered 1898 reel of two Black vaudeville performers embracing, the exhibition tells the largely unknown history of "race films" – hundreds of pre-1960s independent movies made with Black casts specifically for Black audiences, at a time when cinemas were racially segregated.
It displays Poitier's historic Oscar –– loaned by his widow, from his 1964 best actor win for "Lilies of the Field" –– as well as tap shoes worn by the Nicholas Brothers, a trumpet played by Louis Armstrong, and a costume worn by Sammy Davis Jr in "Porgy and Bess.
