@812filmreviews That’s why the answer is The Searchers. Its focus on white/ted relations in 1868 covers for a black/white subtext critical to the time of its creation: 1956.

@whitstrub We def gave in person exams… I guess the prof I was TAing for just flouted the rules. Oops

[David Fresko @DavidFresko]

And that this image from early in the film makes no sense if it was purely archival

[David Fresko @DavidFresko]

Whole thread is essential reading re Newsreel and “Revolution Until Victory”

[🔻 @atlajala]

things I plan to address in my talk before this film tonight is to clarify, thru my own research, much confusion surrounding this film that’s long been circulating. 1: it was shot by Mark Hardesty of San Francisco Newsreel & 1 other member, in Palestine, over 2 months circa 1971.

[David Fresko @DavidFresko]

Worth noting that TWN has consistently highlighted that this was “Filmed in Palestine by Newsreel” which is clearly contrary to questionable descriptions of it as a compilation film

[David Fresko @DavidFresko]

@atlajala Incredible thread thank you

[David Fresko @DavidFresko]

A brilliant filmmaker on a brilliant film. trl
