THE OBENSON REPORT PODCAST
RECORDED, MONDAY, AUGUST 6TH, 2007 @ TALKSHOE.COM

Hosted by Tambay A Obenson

TOPICS THAT WERE COVERED:

- The notion of creating a contemporary black film movement - how do you define or establish a film movement? When does a movement become a movement? Does a movement end? My thoughts on the notion, as well as other ruminations on past and present movements, and what we can learn from them.
- My supposed *radical* ideas for building a black owned & operated film financing, production and distribution Studio. We've done it before... we can do it again! My notion of a "Capable Tenth," loosely borrowing from DuBois's Talented Tenth ideology, as well as my "It Takes A Village" project suggestion.
