"L.A. Rebel ion: Creating a New black Cinema" represents a compilation of both wel -known and extremely rare works in a wide variety of moving image formats. In some cases we are presenting the only surviving viewing prints, containing visible damage accumulated over the years. In many cases we have made brand new prints for the first time in decades. For selected titles we have undertaken full restoration, utilizing both photochemical and digital technologies. When no projectable print survives and new prints have not yet been created, we are showing new (unrestored) digital transfers. New film prints and full restorations are noted under their respective catalog listings.

A rediscovered masterpiece, Larry Clark's As Above, So Below comprises a pow-erful political and social critique in its portrayal of Black insurgency. The film opens in 1945 with a young boy playing in his Chicago neighborhood and then fol ows the adult Jita-Hadi as a returning Marine with heightened political con-sciousness. Like The Spook Who Sat By the Door and Gordon's War, As Above, So Below imagines a post-Watts rebel ion state of siege and an organized Black underground plotting revolution. With sound excerpts from the 1968 HUAC report "Guerril a Warfare Advocates in the United States," As Above, So Below is one of the more political y radical films of the L.A. Rebel ion.

Fachschule für Heilerziehungspflege Ausgewählte Behinderungs - und -im Berufsfeld Heilerziehungspflege- Nur zum internem unterrichtlichen Gebrauch Erstellt von der Klasse HP 2 s Vorwort In Absprache mit der Klasse HP 2 s der Fachschule für Heilerziehungspflege und auf Anregung des Fachlehrers entstand der Wunsch, ein eigenes „Kurs-Buch" im Fach „Theorie und Praxis der Heilerziehungspflege" (TPH) zu erstellen. Diese Notwendigkeit ergab sich auch daraus, dass die Studierenden den Wunsch äußerten, ausgewählte Behinderungs - und Krankheitsbilder zu beschreiben und speziell auch die „Handlungsmöglichkeiten" der Heilerziehungspflegerin / des Heilerziehungspflegers mit ein zu beziehen. Unter Zugrundelegung des Lernfeldes 3: „Heilerziehungspflegerische Angebote klientenorientiert planen und umsetzen" heißt es weiter: „Grundlage für heilerziehungspflegerische Angebote ist stets der individuelle Hilfebedarf des Menschen mit Behinderung" 1 In Konsequenz dessen wurde auch von einer individuellen Behinderungsbefindlichkeit ausgegangen. Der große Bereich „Autismus" wurde auf Wunsch der Studierenden ausgeklammert, da dieses Thema schon ausführlich im vorausgegangenen Unterricht besprochen und diskutiert wurde. Dieses „Kurs Buch" wurde von Studierenden für Studierende erarbeitet und ist nur für interne Unterrichtszwecke gedacht. Das gleichzeitige Einüben von Textverarbeitungstechniken und das Recherchieren im Internet sowie die grafische Gestaltung standen dabei auch mit im Vordergrund. Anstelle der sonst üblichen Zitationen wurden ausnahmsweise „links" akzeptiert. Dank gilt allen Studierenden der Klasse HP 2 s, besonders aber der „Mastergruppe", bei der die diversen Themenbereiche der verschiedenen Arbeitsgruppen gesammelt und EDV-technisch aufbereitet wurden.
