Changing the Game: A Celebration of
Director Melvin Van Peebles
In honor of Black History Month, please join us for an insightful
afternoon celebrating the life and legacy of this pioneering auteur
who helped champion a new wave of modern Black cinema in the
1970s and whose work continues to be essential.
A DGA member since 1969, Van Peebles's directorial credits include the feature
fi lms, The Story of a Three-Day Pass, Watermelon Man, Don't Play Us Cheap,
Identity Crisis, Bellyful, Confessions of a Ex-Doofus-ItchyFooted Mutha; the
movie for television Gang in Blue; and episodes of The Bill Cosby Show and The
Outer Limits. He was also an accomplished author, playwright and an advocate
for independent fi lmmakers.
His seminal feature, 1971's Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song, is credited
with leading to the creation of the blaxploitation genre and opened the doors to
many fi lmmakers of color. The landmark fi lm was recently celebrated at the New
York Film Festival with a special 50th anniversary screening.
Information regarding the panelists will be posted
on www.dga.org closer to the date of the event.

4:00 p.m. (EST) | 1:00 p.m. (PST)
