Jeffrey Wright: “There Is No Black Cinema”

“The issue for all black artists is: Who controls the resources that allow for the work to happen? And it’s said, ‘who controls the resources, controls the story.’ What we have to improve on is reclaiming our own identity, our own story… I don’t really see any Black Cinema… We’re probably one of the few cultural groups in the world who don’t have a firm grip on our own cultural output in that way.” — Jeffrey Wright (via NewsOne)
