In the director’s chair

Here’s a look at three talents from the “L.A. Rebellion” period:

Julie Dash

Dash is celebrating the 20th anniversary of her feature “Daughters of the Dust,” which is part of the Library of Congress’ National Film Registry.

Charles Burnett

The director’s lauded first full-length feature, 1977’s “Killer of Sheep,” was written as his UCLA master’s thesis.

Haile Gerima

The Ethiopian-born Gerima took his 1993 film “Sankofa” to 35 different cities himself when he couldn’t find a distributor.
