According to Pam Wilson: > > > Do you know if any of these early African-American-produced films are available > for rental, or even where they might be archived if not in circulation? I There is a series available on video from Phoenix Films (800.221.1274) entitled "The Tyler Texas Black Film Collection." This is a collection of 14 films found in a warehouse in Tyler Texas, made by black filmmakers from 1939 to 1956. Directed by (among others) Oscar Micheaux and William Alexander. These run the gammit from comedy to drama. Very nice collection. -- ******************************************************** * Rick E.
