Yamata is a 1919 Hungarian silent drama film directed by Alexander Korda and starring Emil Fenyvessy, Ila Lóth and Gábor Rajnay. The film was made for the state-owned Hungarian film industry during the Hungarian Soviet Republic, and concerns a black slave's revolt against his master. The film's apparent political leftism, along with that of Ave Caesar! (1919), led to Korda's arrest once the Soviet Republic collapsed and he fled Hungary in 1919 during the White Terror.{{cite book|last=Kulik|first=Karol|title=Alexander Korda: The Man Who Could Work Miracles|publisher=Virgin Books|year=1990|pages=25–27|isbn=0870003356|oclc=1827622|url=https://archive.org/details/alexanderkordama0000kuli/mode/2up|url-access=registration}}
