SUMMARY:Sun Ra: Do The Impossible Community Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:The Billie Holiday Theatre in Partnership with the Office of Council Member Chi Osse and Field Meridians Presents a FREE community screening of Firelight Films’ Sun Ra: Do the ImpossibleDirected by Christine TurnerWith a special conversation with Ahmed Abdullah\, former Arkestra member to follow. \nDoors at 6 PM. Film at 6:30 PM. \nSYNOPSIS:\nPoet\, philosopher\, Egyptologist\, bandleader. Jazz visionary Sun Ra was all of these – and more. With his ever-evolving band\, the Sun Ra Arkestra\, he produced more than 200 albums\, stretching the boundaries of free-form jazz while weaving ancient Egypt\, interstellar metaphors\, and scientific musings into a singular musical and spiritual vision of Afrofuturism that continues to reverberate across generations. Director Christine Turner takes us on an illuminating journey through the life of this multi-faceted artist\, gracefully balancing recollections from the Arkestra’s still-devout band members and dancers with insightful interviews from music scholars\, and unforgettable film and performance footage of Sun Ra himself. The result is a portrait – informative\, inspiring\, and mind-bending – of a man whose audacious vision\, otherworldly imagination\, and uncompromising artistry helped shape not only the sound of jazz\, but the cultural landscape of the 20th century and beyond.
