Movies to watch
Slate's Black Film Canon is two things: first, a reaction to #OscarsSoWhite and the exclusion of black filmmakers from most canonical film lists. Second, by challenging how film lovers think about which films matter in cinema history, the hope is Hollywood will encourage and honor black stories told by black filmmakers.
Slate asked "prominent filmmakers, critics, and scholars" (including Ava DuVernay, Robert Townsend, Charles Burnett, Gina Prince-Bythewood, Wesley Morris, and Henry Louis Gates Jr) and used their lists of favorite movies to develop a curated canon of fifty great films by black directors made in the Americas and Africa. The project excluded movies about black people but directed by non-blacks (A Raisin in the Sun, Coming to America). It is also not a poll: it’s an unranked list presented chronologically.
