Race Film Database

Project website: http://dhbasecamp.humanities.ucla.edu/afamfilm/about-the-project/ We are a group of undergraduate and graduate students in the Digital Humanities program at the University of California, Los Angeles. This main goal of this project was to collaboratively create a database on early African-American silent race films by drawing together information in a wide range of primary and secondary sources. For the purpose of this project, we determined that we would only include silent films created before 1930 by African-Americans companies for African-American audiences.<em> </em>This definition was the main factor that informed our decisions to include or exclude pieces of data. (You can read more about how we arrived at our definition here: http://dhbasecamp.humanities.ucla.edu/afamfilm/whatis/definition/.) The database we have created contains information on films, actors, production companies, and other aspects of early silent-era African American race films. The database is intended to allow the public to learn about this period in film history that is too rarely discussed.项目官网：http://dhbasecamp.humanities.ucla.edu/afamfilm/about-the-project/ 我们是加州大学洛杉矶分校数字人文（Digital Humanities）专业的本科生与研究生团队。本项目的核心目标是通过整合各类一手、二手史料信息，协作构建一部早期非裔美国人无声种族电影数据库。 本次项目将收录范围限定为1930年之前由非裔美国制片公司为非裔受众制作的无声电影。这一定义是我们决定收录或剔除相关数据的核心依据。（可访问 http://dhbasecamp.humanities.ucla.edu/afamfilm/whatis/definition/ 了解我们确定该定义的详细过程。） 我们构建的数据库涵盖电影、演员、制片公司等早期无声时代非裔种族电影的相关信息。本数据库旨在向公众介绍这段鲜少被提及的电影史时期。
