Wilbert Reuben "Skip" Norman (1933-2015) was a Black American filmmaker, cinematographer, photographer, and scholar. Moved to Germany in the 1960s, he worked with a group of filmmakers and activists interested in the revolutionary potential of the art form, including Gerd Conradt,
Harun Farocki, Holger Meins, and Helke Sander. Norman produced a remarkable but little-seen body of documentary, experimental, and essay films in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and a number of films about his experience as a Black man in both Germany and his home country.
