Summer of Soul (2021) – Stories Rooted in Rhythm Season

Summer of Soul (2021) – Monday Movies at The Flicks Hut

Bursting with soul, gospel, blues and jazz, Summer of Soul transports us to the 1969 Harlem Cultural Festival, where music brought people together in a powerful celebration of Black culture, pride and community.

Directed by Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson, this vibrant documentary brings long-unseen festival footage to the screen, featuring electrifying performances from Stevie Wonder, Nina Simone, Sly & the Family Stone, Gladys Knight & the Pips and many more. Through the music and memories of those who were there, it captures the joy, hope and political energy of a community during a time of profound social change.

Our Stories Rooted in Rhythm season explores music, movement, identity and community through eleven carefully selected films. Together they celebrate the people, places and stories that have shaped modern culture and invite us to reflect on the rhythms that bring us together.
