Where is the best place to start to get a Micheaux primer on video. I have the Criterion Robeson set, but I want to get more in-depth into Micheaux studies.

I know there's Within Our Gate in the Library of Congress' "Origin of film" set, "African American Cinema I" DVD. Doesn't help much though...

I believe The Origins of Film set is now deleted.
Grapevine have three of his films available including the silent (
Within Our Gates) which is on the Origins set.
Note these will be DVD-Rs and Grapevine's quality is very variable. I haven't seen these particular releases but, given the rarity of Micheaux's films, these will probably be fair to poor.
