Graphic identity for the L.A. Rebellion retrospective, which took place during LEFFEST - Lisbon & Sintra Film Festival 2022. The graphic materials are inspired by the cross-cutting irreverence of the filmography of the L.A. Rebellion, the Revolutionary Movement of the Black Cinema.


"From the myriad of cinematic movements of the 20th century, the L.A. Rebellion - also known as Los Angeles School of Black Filmmakers - is certainly one of the most revolutionary currents. Between the 60s and 80s, a generation of filmmakers, associated with UCLA - University of California, created a new Black Cinema, independent from the stereotypical Hollywood conventions and attentive to the real African-American lived experiences. At the time of the Civil Rights movement in the USA, these filmmakers’ contributions challenged the white hegemony in the cinema industry."
