Medea

Running 7m and made in the United States, Medea (1973) is a Documentary and History film in the 123movies catalog. Ben Caldwell directs. 1 vote put it at 7/10. Ben Caldwell’s Medea, a collage piece made on an animation stand and edited entirely in the camera, combines live action and rapidly edited still images of Africans and African Americans which function like flashes of history that the unborn child will inherit. Caldwell invokes Amiri Baraka’s poem “Part of the Doctrine” in this experimental meditation on art history, Black imagery, identity and heritage.
