  • EPISODE 047: LESSONS IN FILM HISTORY

    Featuring: Birth of a Nation (1915); The Jazz Singer (1927); Gummo (1997); Bamboozled (2000)

    Wind Reel & Print explores the history of racism and exploitation in the entertainment industry as Kevin bundles four films that deal with minstrel shows and vaudeville. Starting with the invention of cinematic language at the top of the Twentieth century, this important podcast conversation aims to connect close ups and sound design with the KKK and blackface. Accompanied by Spike Lee’s daring dissection in 2000’s Bamboozled, WR&P cohosts examine the exploitative nature of the camera and how America’s racist history has impacted the entertainment industry.
