NEW MEDIA
In conjunction with its "L.A. Rebellion: Creating a New Black Cinema" exhibition, the Archive launched a website devoted to L.A. Rebellion filmmakers and films. The website features film clips, photos, timelines and other reference materials, as well as the latest news and information about the Archive's L.A. Rebellion initiative.
In recent years, UCLA Film & Television Archive has explored the limitless uses of digital and interactive media for educational purposes by producing a series of interactive educational CD-ROMS. The first of these, "Executive Order 9066: The Incarceration of Japanese Americans During World War II," was created in cooperation with the Japanese American National Museum and distributed by Grolier.
Other Archive CD-ROM projects include "Tour Historic Los Angeles" and "Defining America: Images in Motion, 1929-41." These multimedia titles make extensive use of rare news film from the Archive's vast Hearst Metrotone Newsreel Collection.
