Join us in 2026 for our year-long film series REEL REBELS. Weโ€™ll be screening films known for their renegade characters, including stories about underdogs fighting the odds, lonely voices crying to be heard, and moviemakers struggling to share their vision. REEL REBELS showcases works from across the globe that prove that movies will always be a home for nonconformists, dissenters, and rebels. The series continues in May with the Robert Townsend's satire HOLLYWOOD SHUFFLE. ๐—ง๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐—ธ๐—ฒ๐˜๐˜€ ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐—ฎ๐—ถ๐—น๐—ฎ๐—ฏ๐—น๐—ฒ ๐—ป๐—ผ๐˜„ ๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—ฎ๐—บ๐—ฏ๐—น๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ.๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ด/๐˜€๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐—ถ๐—ฎ๐—น๐˜€

Presented in a series of comedy sketches, HOLLYWOOD SHUFFLE is a rebellious pop culture critique that is still as prescient today as it was upon release.
