Bring your fans to keep cool during the second screening of the Cinematique at Jengo's, hosted by WHQR and the Cucalorus Film Foundation. Stay after the matinee or show up early for the evening screening to enjoy Cinematique Social Hour from 6pm-7:15pm in the Jengo's Bar (we'll provide the snacks!) After the 7:30pm screening, Todd Berliner, Professor of Film Studies at UNCW, will discuss Lee's groundbreaking film's portrayal of racial tensions in a Brooklyn neighborhood.
Sal is the Italian owner of a pizzeria in Brooklyn. A neighborhood local, Buggin' Out, becomes upset when he sees that the pizzeria's Wall of Fame exhibits only Italian actors. Buggin' Out believes a pizzeria in a black neighborhood should showcase black actors, but Sal disagrees. The wall becomes a symbol of racism and hate to Buggin' Out and to other people in the neighborhood, and tensions rise.
