Friday Night at the Movies to Honor Juneteenth “Summer of Soul (…Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised)”
This eclectic 2021 documentary is a blend of historical accord and musical prowess. Questlove’s Oscar-winning film centers on the 1969 Harlem Cultural Festival, which was a celebration honoring Black history, political unrest, perseverance, culture, and fashion. Summer of Soul features never-before-seen concert performances by Stevie Wonder, Nina Simone, Sly and the Family Stone, B.B. King, and more. It also features commentary from Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Alan Leeds, and Gladys Knight.
The documentary had its world premiere at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival, where it won the Grand Jury Prize and Audience Award in the U. S. documentary categories. The film received acclaim from critics, with particular praise given for the restoration of the footage used. It won numerous awards, including Best Documentary Feature at the 6th Critics’ Choice Documentary Awards, where it won in all six categories in which it was nominated, Best Documentary at the 75th British Academy Film Awards, Best Documentary Feature at the 94th Academy Awards, and Best Music Film at the 64th Annual Grammy Awards. One British critic called it the best music documentary of all time.
