John Coney: Space is the Place
@ Doc Films at the University of Chicago
1212 E 59th St, Chicago, IL 60637
Opening Monday, February 19th, from 7PM - 8:30PM
Space is the Place is one of the most important expressions of Afrofuturism to ever grace the silver screen. The film follows musician Sun Ra, Chicago resident and one of the fathers of Afrofuturism, as he attempts to resettle African Americans on a different planet, using music as the mode of transportation. Come for Sun Ra’s unique acting and writing, and stay for the incredible soundtrack by musical legends Arkestra.
runtime: 85m format: DCP
