Found this email from St. Clair Bourne in my box this morn:

“MILITANT” BLACK FILMS WANTED

Isaac Julien, the veteran Black Brit filmmaker (and now video art installation-ist) is beginning to curate a show of films (docs, shorts or dramas) about the Black Panther movement in the States and other interesting and unusual films with Black Power, Black-Is-Beautiful or Black Liberation Movement themes that might have been made during that time or even in the present. He’s open to experimental films and videos that may have an art approach to that subject matter, whether made at the time or since that time.

It is for a film program at the Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid next year and they will pay fees for the rental and transportation of all films and videos.

He can also pay a research fee if you are interested in doing research in this area to help compile a list and bibliography with small descriptions of works.

Anyone who is interested can contact Isaac Julien in London at 011 44 207 837 9881 or through e-mail Isaac.julien@orange.net

St.Clair Bourne,
