Part of the auspiciousness of Lionel Rogosin's emergence within documentary film culture lay, beside the brilliance and orginality displayed in his feel for film form, in the fact that his films intersected within three different national cultural experiences: the founding of the Free CInema in Britain of the early 1950s; the consolidation of Cinema Verite (Direct Cinema) in the early 1960s in America; and lastly but not least, the emergence of the South African Sophiatown Renaissance ( a literary and cultural movement) which was subsequently destroyed by the political forces of apartheid. On the Bowery (1954) inspired and gave form to the formation of the British Free Cinema, which included among others, Tony Richardson, Karel Reisz, John Schlesinger, Lindsay Anderson; it was through this film that these film makers established contact and continuity with Basil Wright's Song of Ceylon, Grierson's Drifters and Industrial Britain, and other films of the 1930s. Come Back Africa (1959) was the mirror in which the Sophiatown Renaissance (it included some of the leading black South African writers of that generation, Can Themba, Lewis nkosi, Bloke Modisane, Nat Nakasa, Ezekiel Mphahlele, Henry Nxumalo), in many ways similar to the American Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s, saw reflected its own death at the hands of white political oppression and repression. On the Bowery and Good Times, Wonderful Times (1966) defined the critical forms of the American Cinema Verite, in which Pennebaker, Maysles', Cawston and others were to follow. In the short documentary films of the 1970s, Woodcutters of the Deep South (1973) being representtive though dealing with white and black workers in the American South, Rogosin attempted to formulate the iconographical structure of African-American culture, in the same way that Walker Evans had done in some of his great photography.
