This list is by no means a definitive canon of Black directors in film history. This is merely a consensus list based off a specific criteria. It is, indeed, the tip of the iceberg. Please feel free to let me know any movies I've missed that fit the criteria or of any movies that do not belong. Please also feel free to recommend any films that need discovering.
