Cinema's Original Sin: D.W. Griffith, American Racism, and the Rise of Film Culture (Audiobook) English | ASIN: B0BP8DY5BH | 2022 | 9 hours and 21 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 269 MB Author: Paul McEwan Narrator: Paul Heitsch For over a century, cinephiles and film scholars have had to grapple with an ugly artifact that sits at the beginnings of film history. In every decade since 1915, filmmakers, museums, academics, programmers, and film fans have had to figure out how to deal with this troublesome object, and their choices have profoundly influenced both film culture and the notion that films can be works of art. Some critics tried to set aside the film's racism and concentrate on the form, while others tried to relegate that racism safely to the past. McEwan argues that from the earliest film retrospectives in the 1920s to the rise of remix culture in the present day, controversies about this film and its meaning have profoundly shaped our understandings of film, race, and art.
