An upwardly-mobile African American family living in urban Los Angeles receives an unexpected visit from Harry (Danny Glover), an old friend from their earlier days living in the rural South. Harry’s charisma and old-fashioned ways initially charms them, but his enigmatic presence soon comes to disrupt the delicate domestic equilibrium of their household, bringing to the boil the simmering, long unspoken tensions between the members of the family. L.A. Rebellion director Charles Burnett (Killer of Sheep, My Brother’s Wedding) weaves together folklore, the supernatural, and the cultural dislocations of the Great Migration into this characteristically finely observed portrait of American life – at once a probing examination of the black experience and a universal portrait of familial dysfunction.

Every month 20th Century Flicks Video Shop select a favourite film from their massive archive that has been overlooked, under-screened or just plain misunderstood.

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation, out of caution and with particular concern for at-risk groups, we have decided to close the Cube for all public events for an initial period of two weeks, from Sun 15th March til Sun 29th March inclusive.

This means that all scheduled screenings in this period will no longer be going ahead, though we plan to reschedule as much as the programme as we can once the situation becomes clearer. 

We will continue to monitor the situation before making any decision regarding any events we still have scheduled for April/May. As a precaution, we have halted all advance ticket sales until further notice.

This decision has been reached after much deliberation and in acknowledgment of our role as a community gathering place. Despite having recently implemented increased sanitation and other precautionary measures we believe the best course of action at this time is a temporary closure. By voluntarily closing we are prioritising the health and safety of customers, our volunteer staff, and the community at large, including vulnerable populations.

We really appreciate your patience and understanding during this time. We look forward to welcoming customers back to the Cube upon reopening once we feel it is safe to do so. In the meantime, keep an eye on our website/social media and member's mailout for updates.
