Increasingly, I am interested in the relationship between French intellectuals and artists and black radicals in the United States during the 1960s. I read somewhere that Deleuze and Guattari visited the United States and met with black activists at some point. I would have to find the article to confirm that, but it is fun to think about nonetheless. Below is an example of one French filmmakers engagement with US Black radicalism during the 1960s. It is a documentary by Agnes Varda about the Black Panther party that focuses on the free Huey rally. There is more information about the documentary and about Agnes Varda’s films on ubuweb.com.
