CONTEMPORARY AFRICAN AMERICAN CINEMA - SHERIL D...

For the past century African American cinema has primarily been an independent phenomenon.
However  recent and consistent inclusion in the mainstream film industry of Hollywood suggests
a significant change in its status. Despite a tendency to posit the genre as other it is not a
separate cinema. Contemporary African American cinema contextualizes its forms and themes
within the American film tradition. With crossover success and critical acclaim  it became
clear by 1991 that profit would be a motive for expansion  and that these films had established
profound connections not only with Black audiences and agendas but within a diverse mainstream
audience as well. Contemporary African American cinema continues to sustain itself while
informing  mediating  challenging  and entertaining American audiences.
