Trailor:

Synopsis: The Woodstock of House details the triumph of a genre of music that was attacked and seemingly destroyed by mainstream America in the late 1970s for being too black, too Latin, and too gay. "Woodstock" explores the music's mutation, development, and re-birth as House Music by disaffected African American teenagers on the South Side of Chicago in an underground culture of marginalized, largely gay nightclub constituents. This is the untold story of the role of Chicago's Chosen Few DJs in the creation and popularization of the third-largest musical genre in the world.

The documentary celebrates the 25th Anniversary of the annual Chosen Few Music Festival.

Black Film Of The Week: LOVE & BASKETBALL (2000)

Written & directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood; with Omar Epps & Sanaa Lathan 

Why: Love & Basketball is that near perfect movie, like 99.95% perfect. This pick may feel like we’re paying fan service, but really, in these world health crisis times, it's films like Gina Prince-Bythewood’s romantic drama masterpiece that makes you appreciate life and love.  

From childhood, Monica (Sanaa Lathan) and Quincy (Omar Epps) meet and instantly bond through their love of basketball. As they grow older, that love turns into a mutual romance for them both. But eventually, like most love, it then turns sour (not really a spoiler, it happens in every movie love story!).  Will they both love each other again, and love the game?  You have to watch it to find out.

As adept as the direction is, the casting was equally as spot on with co-starring roles for Debbi Morgan (just off of her star-making turn in “Eve’s Bayou”), the incomparable Alfre Woodard, Dennis Hasbert as Quincy’s basketball star dad Zeke, and a laid back Harry J. Lennix, in addition to early career roles for Regina Hall, Gabrielle Union, Boris Kodjoe, and of course Kyla Pratt as a young Monica. And real talk, these are also just some beautifully diverse Black people on-screen!

There are innumerable moments in the film that warm both your heart & soul. From the sweet and extremely tastefully done first love scene, to all the ball-playing scenes with Monica & Quincy (that dorm room scene, whew!), and even the moments of career and family despair, you grow with these characters. 

But above all, it’s the connection that Q & Monica possess - it feels so real!  Sanaa Lathan especially imbues Monica with equal toughness and vulnerability that allows you to feel everything that Monica is going through (no offense to Epps: two of his films have made our list so far!).       

I recall some people thinking the title is goofy, and maybe it is, but it lays it all out right there, and once you watch the first ten minutes of it, you’ll be hooked. Love & Basketball, our #BlackFilmofTheWeek

-  Curtis Caesar John, founder, The Luminal Theater

Love & Basketball is available on multiple top streaming platforms (but not Netflix)

Happiness comes when we stop complaining about the troubles we have, and instead offer thanks to all the troubles, storms, and problems we don't have... The masses have been preached a faith that's designed to keep us alone, extremely needy, socially addicted, and impoverished. True faith should lead us to more abundance of life... It's okay to be scared sometimes it means you're about to head into the next phase of your life. In order to do that you must dive into something really brave; you'll reached the stage of discomfort and ultimately something new...signed**Future** PhotoCred: Director @taylorrr.g #film #cinematagrapher #storyboardartist #gaffer #stuntcoordinator #dp Director Of Photography in the making #BlackAndBlue #BlackLove #supportblackfilmmakers #supportblackartists #supportblackfilms #supportblackbusiness #FamW™ #lovelife #love #live #weird #nerd #spontaneous #AlwaysThankful #NeverUngrateful #WeMustTakeActionInAllAreasOfLife (at Pompano Beach, Florida)
