Additional Details

In 1969, Costa-Gavras, the director of the political film "Z", donated a copy of the film to the Black Panthers to use for several days in June as a tool for raising funds for legal defense of Panther Party members. This was done on behalf of all the parties involved in the making of the film: Yves Montand, Irene Pappas, Simone Signoret et al. Huey Newton, took the opportunity to write the present essay on the politics of art with a capital "A." "Art must be and in fact is, a world that exists outside of reality." He makes an intelligent argument, in terms of what the Soviets used to call "Social Realism."
