In the 1980s, there were only 63 Black films by, for, or about Black Americans. But in the 1990s, that number quadrupled, with 220 Black films making their way to cinema screens nationwide. What sparked this “Black New Wave?” Who blazed this path for contemporaries like Ava DuVernay, Kasi Lemmons and Jordan Peele? And how did these films transform American culture as a whole?

Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw. I’m your host, Nicolas Rapold. Todd Haynes’s documentary about The Velvet Underground is not just a musical feast, as one would expect, but it’s also a visually rich and polyphonic work. Haynes has explored the mythology of glam rock and the many faces of Bob Dylan in his fiction films, and he turns his first documentary into a kind of multichannel installation for the cinema screen, putting Andy Warhol’s Screen Test series of filmed portraits into dialogue with other pictures and people. The movie does the same thing with its sense of history, situating the Velvet Underground in relation to the avant-garde music and arts scene of 1960s New York. I recently spoke with Haynes about his use of Warhol’s films; the role of queerness in the identity of The Velvet Underground and Lou Reed; and which clip became a keystone for the entire film.
