      Oscar Micheaux

      Oscar Micheaux

      Highest Rated: 100% Within Our Gates (1920)

      Lowest Rated: 86% Body and Soul (1925)

      Birthday: Jan 2, 1884

      Birthplace: Metropolis, Illinois, USA

      The most prolific black--if not independent--filmmaker in American cinema, Oscar Micheaux wrote, produced and directed nearly forty feature-length films between 1919 and 1948. Despite his importance to black cinema, Micheaux remains an enigmatic and ignored figure; few of his films have survived. In addition, his controversial racial beliefs and technically inferior films make him difficult to interpolate within mainstream film history.
