Jeffrey Wright captures the creative genius and self-destructive impulses of legendary American artist Jean-Michel Basquiat.
Get swept away by the infectious rhythms and exhilarating irreverence of calypso and soca music in this wonderful newly restored documentary from New York-based filmmaker Kavery Kaul. Legendary artists Grandmaster Lord Kitchener and Calypso Rose—the first woman to break through in this traditionally male sphere—lead audiences from New York recording studios and the streets of Brooklyn to the magic of Carnival in Trinidad and Tobago. There, the festivities culminate with the fiercely contested annual competition between top calypso singers for the title Monarch of the Year.
Join us for Q&As with director Kavery Kaul following the 7pm screenings on March 8 and 9!
