The 21st annual North Carolina Black Film Festival (NCBFF), showcasing Black cinema, will take place from May 16 - 19, 2024 in Wilmington, NC.

The festival's opening night film will be A WU-TANG EXPERIENCE: LIVE AT RED ROCKS AMPHITHEATRE, directed by Gerald K. Barclay and The RZA, will be held at Cape Fear Community College Union Station Auditorium right after the opening reception, known as the Cinemixer.

Combining performances, interviews and revealing insights from various group members and associates, classical musicians and concertgoers, this feature documents the extraordinary concert at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre where The Wu-Tang Clan, backed by the 60-piece Colorado Symphony Orchestra, weaves together songs from their vast discography of group and solo albums to create a live score to a real-time screening of the seminal martial arts film “Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers).” Through exploring the question of whether hip-hop has earned the legitimacy of more prestigious musical genres, A WU-TANG EXPERIENCE delivers answers that inform, reveal and inspire.

There will be a post-film discussion with co-director Gerald K. Barclay and Wu-Tang Clan member Cappadonna immediately after the screening.
