Description
Dust off your dancing shoes and join us for the most joyous documentary of 2021! It makes its Castro premiere with the film’s magisterial director Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson in attendance. With extraordinary footage that was shot at the 1969 Harlem Cultural Festival in Mount Morris Park placed alongside contemporary interviews of musicians and attendees, Summer of Soul offers a multitude of incandescent moments, including Mahalia Jackson sharing the stage with Mavis Staples, Stevie Wonder playing drums, Sly and the Family Stone bringing down the house, and emcee Tony Lawrence’s vibrant outfits threatening to steal the show.
