A “Dynamite” Master Class

At the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, Scott Sanders, director of blaxploitation parody “Black Dynamite,” shared his thoughts at one of the festival’s master classes (where he shared the stage with “Sin Nombre”‘s Cary Joji Fukunaga.) “It came out of the black movement of the 1970s,” said about blaxploitation. “I was too young to see such hard films, but thanks to that I’ve got enough distance… Anything was possible for the genre. There’s even one called ‘Boss N****r.’ Can you imagine seriously coming out with an American movie called that? Impossible! The style allowed me to use jokes that would not have worked elsewhere.” Photo courtesy of the festival.
