Fusco combines fictional and documentary source materials to reflect on the use of electronic surveillance against black intellectuals and activists in the 1960s and 1970s as part of covert FBI operations that bear a striking resemblance to the current Patriot Act-inspired activities of American law enforcement. 2. http://newsreel.org/video/BLACK-PANTHER-SAN-FRANCISCO-STATE-ON-STRIKE Black Panther 14 minutes This is the film the Black Panthers used to promote their cause. Shot in 1969, in Oakland, San Francisco and Sacramento, this exemplar of 1960s activist filmmaking traces the development of the Black Panther organization. In an interview from jail, Minister of Defense Huey P. Newton describes the origins of the Panther Party, Eldridge Cleaver explains the Panthers' appeal to the Black community, and Chairman Bobby Seale enumerates the Panther 10-Point Program as Panthers march and demonstrate. San Francisco State: On Strike 20 minutes Ethnic studies courses are common today, but that hasn't always been the case. In many ways, multicultural education can be traced back to San Francisco in 1968-1969. In one of the most high-profile student actions of the 1960s, students at San Francisco State University went on strike, shutting down the campus for six months. University president S.I. Hayakawa called in the police, who busted heads and arrested hundreds in an attempt to restore control of the campus. But the strike didn't end until the school acceded to student demands and created the first ethnic studies department at an American university. This film, shot by the students and their allies, is a classic primary source document of the 1960s.

Re: [Frameworks] US Civil Rights-related films
Robert Nelson's Oh Dem Watermelons (1965) could be interesting in a consideration of a liberal/progressive white imagination of the era. The music is by Steve Reich. The film was made as part of the San Francisco Mime Troupe's A MINSTREL SHOW, OR CIVIL RIGHTS IN A CRACKER BARREL. I think it's available from Canyon, but there are (unauthorized?) copies on youtube. SLEEP preceded by Satie ... an interesting idea. Wish I were there. Warm regards to all Frame-workers.
