Classic Black Cinema Series: Space is the Place

Visit the Gantt for a screening of the afro-futuristic film from 1974, "Space is the Place" as part of our Classic Black Cinema Series!
About this Event

Enjoy an afternoon at the Gantt for a special screening of the film, Space is the Place. All Classic Black Cinema films this season were released in 1974 -- the year of our founding -- to celebrate the Gantt Golden Year, our 50th anniversary!

Sun Ra, space-age prophet, shaman-philosopher, and avant-jazz keyboardist/bandleader, lands his spaceship in Oakland, CA and presumed lost in space for a few years. With Black Power on the rise during this time, Sun Ra proclaims himself "theater-destiny."

Uniquely explore the theme of 'space' and don't miss the chance to experience this classic film in a vibrant and culturally rich atmosphere.
