Welcome to the Black Star podcast, part of the BFI's Black Star season, a UK nationwide series of screenings and events celebrating the power, range and versatility of black performers. Over six weekly episodes we'll be looking at the black film-makers who helped define their era of cinema. This week it's the story of one of the first black film directors, the prototype movie mogul who vied with DW Griffith to control the conversation about race in America in the early 20th century. His name? Oscar Micheaux. This episode of Black Star includes a clip from Selma, directed by Ava DuVernay, produced by Pathé, Plan B Entertainment, Cloud Eight Films and released in 2014. It also includes a clip from the 2016 Oscars telecast. Directed by Glenn Weiss, produced by David Hill and Reginald Hudlin and broadcast in 2016. And it includes music from the BFI's centenary edition of The Birth of a Nation. Released in 2015. For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy
