AMERICAN CINEMA
“This very special collection illuminates one of the most fascinating and unjustly neglected
corners of American movie history. Every film included in Pioneers of African-American
Cinema has been lovingly restored, and every one is essential viewing.”
- MARTIN SCORSESE
“From the perspective of cinema
history – and American history,
for that matter – there has never
been a more significant video
release than Pioneers of
African-American Cinema.”
- J. HOBERMAN, THE NEW YORK TIMES

This collection of the works of America’s legendary first African-American filmmakers is
the only one of its kind. Funded in part by a
highly successful Kickstarter campaign, the
packaged set includes no fewer than a dozen
feature-length films and nearly twice as many
shorts and rare fragments. Subject matter includes race issues that went unaddressed by
Hollywood for decades. Includes rarely seen
works by Oscar Micheaux, Richard Maurice,
Spencer Williams, and more. Since there’s more
material than we can fit here, please visit our
website at kinolorber.com for more details.
