Summer of Soul

Brunswick Music Festival x BPH, the finest music documentaries presented during the start of March. Come have a dance in the cinema and out with DJ Emma Peel playing in the foyer. In 1969, during the same summer as Woodstock, a different music festival took place 100 miles away. More than 300,000 people attended the summer concert series known as the Harlem Cultural Festival. It was filmed, but after that summer, the footage sat in a basement for 50 years. It has never been seen - until now. Summer Of Soul is a stunning unearthed treasure destined to become a pillar of American music and African American history. In his striking debut as a filmmaker, the legendary musician Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson presents this transporting documentary—part concert film, part historical record—about an epic event that radiated the wholesale reevaluation of Black history, culture, fashion and music. Brunswick Picture House are excited to present a series of awesome music docs that demand to be seen on a big screen with great sound! See two of the greatest concert films of all time, STOP MAKING SENSE (with DJ Woody McDonald) and SUMMER OF SOUL (with Emma Peel setting the scene on the decks before and after the film.) Also on screen is the fascinating documentary on electronic music pioneer Suzanne Ciani in A LIFE IN WAVES with Artificial’s Nicole Skeltys and Beautiful Dark’s Dylan taking you on a retro-electro journey before the film. Plus, the new film on Shayne Carter (Straitjacket Fits), LIFE IN ONE CHORD will be preceded with tunes from Tristan Harris (RRR’s Golden Age of Piracy). One great music documentary every day from Sunday March 1st to Wednesday March 4th.
