Down in the lush backwoods of Mississippi and Alabama, history is being made. Poor BIack and White working people are trying to overcome the forces of racism among themselves to organize into cooperative associations to dispeI the bonds of their economic captors—the paper and pulpwood companies. In his unique Woodcutters of the Deep South (1973), Lionel Rogosin (On the Bowery) alIows the people in the fiIm to tell and Iive 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 involved in the formation of the group—The GuIf-Coast PuIpwood Association—reveaIs the intricacies of this venture, an inspiring depiction of unity among workers of alI races.
MichaeI A. Rogosin’s Working Together (2022) examines the consequences and questions that were implied in Woodcutters. lnherent in the original film is not only the question of Black and White folks working together, but what happened to the CiviI Rights movement in the ’70s. By revisiting the film with Bob Zellner, who was in the original film, and other major CiviI Rights workers, Lionel’s son MichaeI helps to understand what happened and is happening in America today.
Woodcutters of the Deep South was restored by Fondazione Cineteca di Bologna from the original 16mm reversal fiIm and optical soundtrack, preserved and made available by Anthology FiIm Archives. The restoration is part of a project Iaunched by Fondazione Cineteca di BoIogna and Rogosin Heritage to restore and promote alI the fiIms made by Lionel Rogosin. |
