For your Interest.....I've recently published the BLACK FILM & VIDEO
GUIDE
 
While most existing mainstream film and video guides boast over 19,000
entries,
they have excluded over 60 per cent of the commercial Black film titles that
are available.
So says Ashley Marcelline, publisher of BLACK FILM AND VIDEO GUIDE, a
directory
of Black films and videos dating from the 1920s to the present - from the
films
of Oscar Micheaux and the filmmaking boom of the Harlem Renaissance, to the
Black action classics of the seventies, up to the current era of Black films
and actors.
The BLACK FILM AND VIDEO GUIDE is a 125-page paperbook directory, which lists
-
alphabetically - films featuring Black actors and actresses, as well as films
and videos which offer a Black perspective, in a simple easy-to-read format.
Published this month, (August, 1994) the first edition of the guide provides
a
pocket reference of over 800 works, and should be welcomed not only by Black
movie aficionados, but by historians, educators and collectors.
The second printing - next year (early 1995) - will be distributed across
Canada and throughtout the U.S.
