The Black Power Mixtape 1967-1975
Film Still Highlights from The
Black Power Mixtape 1967-1975
Curated by Yona Backer and the film’s
director Göran Hugo Olsson.
Drawn by stories of urban unrest and revolution, an intrepid team of
Swedish reporters came to the US in the late 1960s. Gaining access to many of
the leaders of the Black Power Movement and Black Panther Party, they captured
candid, intimate moments in rare footage and interviews stretching over the
course of nearly a decade. Thirty years later, their cache of pristine 16mm
film was found undisturbed in the basement of Swedish Television and
transformed into a 2011 Sundance award winning feature documentary: Swedish
filmmaker Göran Hugo Olsson’s The Black Power Mixtape 1967-1975, produced
by Story AB (Stockholm) and co-produced by Louverture Films (NY) and Swedish
Television.
An exhibition of the same name, The Black Power Mixtape 1967-1975 –
featuring medium and large-format, color and black-and-white photographic film
stills, never-before-seen original documentary footage not included in the
film, and ephemera.
