by Peter BelsitoTwo years after his documentary on the Black Panthers, filmmaker Stanley Nelson chronicles the evolution of the United States’ historically black colleges and universities.Group of graduated students, men and women at Atlanta University 1900s (Credit: Atlanta University Center)
The story of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (aka HBCUs) began before the Civil War and influenced the course of our nation yet remains one of America’s most important untold stories. Until now.
Veteran documentarian Stanley Nelson’s latest work traces the century-and-a-half story of HBCUs in the documentary film “Tell Them We Are Rising” revealing the crucial role of HBCUs not only in the identity of black Americans but in the nation as a whole.
A haven for Black intellectuals, artists and revolutionaries — and path of promise toward the American dream — Black colleges and universities have educated the architects of freedom movements and cultivated leaders in every field.

The Sundance Institute announced the award winners for the 2011 Sundance Film Festival. Like Crazy ended up winning the Dramatic Grand Jury Prize, and Circumstance won the dramatic audience award. I thought Like Crazy was a good film, but it definitely was not one of my favorites or one of the best movie there. I didn't end up getting to see Circumstance.

It’s time to wrap up the Sundance blog. I’ll miss you … until next year. In the meantime, here are the award winners (presented Saturday night by Tim Blake Nelson, who appeared wearing a snowflake costume, apparently in honor of the sheer cold of much of this year’s festival), along with some thoughts from me on notable films. In short, here’s the Good, the Bad and the Ugly of Sundance 2011:

The Jury Awards were selected in four categories, including U.S. Dramatic Competition, U.S. Documentary Competition, World Cinema Dramatic Competition and World Cinema Documentary Competition. The Audience Awards were selected by the festival’s audiences. “Success at Sundance can be measured in terms of attendance, sponsorships, acquisitions, even the weather,” said Sundance Film Festival director John Cooper in a press release. “Ultimately, it’s about the films themselves – were they well received? Did they resonate with the audience enough to have a life beyond these 10 days? And this year, the answer is resounding yet.” The film festival featured 118 films, representing 29 countries and 40 first-time filmmakers.
