Afrocentricity(2000)

On the surface, this collection of shorts by up-and-coming African American filmmakers arrived at a perfect time.

This feature-packed compilation (which includes production notes, interviews with all of the filmmakers, and audio commentary by four) attempts to prove that African American cinema is intent on moving past the lowbrow humor, as six of the seven shorts steer clear of any comedy.
