The '''race film''' or '''race movie''' was a genre of film produced in the United States between about 1915 and the early 1950s, consisting of films produced for [[African American|black]] audiences, and featuring black casts. Approximately five hundred race films were produced. Of these, fewer than one hundred remain. Because race films were produced outside the [[Cinema of the United States|Hollywood]] [[studio system]], they were largely forgotten by mainstream film historians until they resurfaced in the 1980s on the [[Black Entertainment Television|BET cable network]]. In their day, race films were very popular among African-American theatergoers. Their influence continues to be felt in cinema and television marketed to African-Americans.
