Step back into the raw grit and electric swagger of 1970s New York with a special screening of Super Fly (1972). This iconic blaxploitation classic follows Youngblood Priest, a stylish Harlem hustler determined to pull off one last score and break free from the streets that shaped him. Fueled by Curtis Mayfield’s legendary soundtrack and drenched in the bold aesthetics of the era, Super Fly captures the tension, ambition, and rebellion of a generation chasing freedom on its own terms.

Join us for an unforgettable throwback to a film that redefined cool — and left a permanent mark on American cinema.
