Abstract

The issue of racial discrimination faced by African Americans, and their struggle against it, is a longstanding phenomenon in America. Since the formation of the country, the African-American community has tried various methods of resistance to achieve racial justice and equality.The main argument of this research is that African American Filmmakers acts as a Non-Western NewSocial Movement that actively produces films not only for profit, but also as a form of active resistance to the oppression of the United States government.Data in this qualitative research would come from primary and secondary sources using a literature review, namely through interviews conducted by the filmmakers, together with several other sources such as journals, books, websites, along with news and films. Using the post-colonialism perspective and Van Dijk's Critical Discourse Analysis, especially the macrostructure (thematic) elements, this research will analyze filmmakers and the works of art that they produce.The results of this study signify that these filmmakers are very compatible with the characteristics of the new social movement, where under the post-colonial perspective they act as “non-Western” actors who actively opposes the United States government. The films and works of art they produce will influence public consciousness through the dissemination of their grievances and postcolonial values, as well as influence the advocacy process by becoming a symbol of advocacy for the members of their community.For future researches, it is suggested that the research can delve deeper into the correlation between films and other social movements, and further explore the linguistic potential that exists in studies like this.
Keywords: African-American Filmmakers, post-Colonialism, New Social Movements, Films, Racial Discrimination
