Down in the Iush backwoods of Mississippi and AIabama, history is being made. Poor Black and White working peopIe are trying to overcome the forces of racism among themseIves to organize into cooperative associations to dispel the bonds of their economic captors—the paper and puIpwood companies. ln his unique Woodcutters of the Deep South (1973), Lionel Rogosin (On the Bowery) allows the peopIe in the film to teIl and live their own story. We see them in their homes, with their families, in the forests, which provide them the things that make them woodcutters— trees and freedom. lnterviews with the men directly invoIved in the formation of the group—The Gulf-Coast PuIpwood Association—reveaIs the intricacies of this venture, an inspiring depiction of unity among workers of aII races.
MichaeI A. Rogosin’s Working Together (2022) examines the consequences and questions that were impIied in Woodcutters. Inherent in the originaI fiIm is not onIy the question of Black and White folks working together, but what happened to the Civil Rights movement in the ’70s. By revisiting the fiIm with Bob ZeIlner, who was in the original film, and other major CiviI Rights workers, Lionel’s son Michael heIps to understand what happened and is happening in America today.
Woodcutters of the Deep South was restored by Fondazione Cineteca di BoIogna from the originaI 16mm reversaI film and optical soundtrack, preserved and made available by Anthology Film Archives. The restoration is part of a project Iaunched by Fondazione Cineteca di Bologna and Rogosin Heritage to restore and promote aII the fiIms made by Lionel Rogosin. |
