Zora Neale Hurston Fieldwork Footage (1928)
Author and sometimes filmmaker Zora Neale Hurston filmed this three minutes worth of footage that was shot of a logging community in Loughman, Florida. Honestly, it's pretty hard to actually "rate" this movie since it's basically just a bunch of clips of men logging but it's certainly of historic interest considering who made it plus it gives us a chance to see some black people at work during a time when there's not too much footage of it. This three-minute film was included on Kino's Pioneers of African-American Cinema and it's certainly worth watching as a curiosity piece.
