SCINE # 4: PUTNEY SWOPE
When its chairman dies, an advertising firm's executive board must elect someone to fill the position. Each member, unable to vote for himself, casts a secret ballot for Putney Swope (Arnold Johnson), the firm's only black executive, assuming he wouldn't receive any votes from the other members. But once in power, Swope makes radical changes to the firm -- like keeping only one white employee and refusing to advertise harmful products -- all under the firm's new moniker, "Truth and Soul, Inc."
Saturday, April 4th at 6:00pm
SCINE #3: TOUKI BOUKI
Touki Bouki, 85 minutes (1973)
The story of Touki Bouki goes back centuries: men have always set out for new lands where they believe time never stops... Only few adventurers seem to make it, but that has never stopped anyone... Djibril left his country with the dream of finding success and solace in Europe. He soon discovered, however, the cruelty of life. While his dream fell apart little by little Djibril found he was unable to leave "Europe", his host country. That was when returning to Africa became the real dream for him. Ending his days in Africa was a dream he would never fulfill. "Touki Bouki" is a prophetic film. Its portrayal of 1973 Senegalese society is not too different from today's reality. Hundreds of young Africans die every day at the Strait of Gibraltar trying to reach Europe (Melilla and Ceuta). Who has never heard of that before? All their hardships find their voice in Djibril's film: the young nomads who think they can cross the desert ocean and find their own lucky star and happiness but are disappointed by the human cruelty they encounter. Touki Bouki is a beautiful, upsetting and unexpected film that makes us question ourselves. What an achievement for Martin Scorsese's Foundation to give Djibril Diop Mambéty a second life.

"The film follows three young men and their time spent in the banlieues of Paris over a span of 24 hours. Vinz, a Jew; Saïd, an Arab; and Hubert, a Black man, have grown up in the streets where high levels of diversity coupled with racist and oppressive police have raised tensions to a critical breaking point. After local youth Abdel is beaten unconscious by police, a riot ensues on his estate during which a policeman loses his gun. The gun is found by Vinz who threatens he will kill a cop if Abdel dies."

Everybody Street, 101 Minutes (2013)
“Everybody Street” illuminates the lives and work of New York’s iconic street photographers and the incomparable city that has inspired them for decades. The documentary pays tribute to the spirit of street photography through a cinematic exploration of New York City, and captures the visceral rush, singular perseverance and at times immediate danger customary to these artists.
