Attend this film fest: Ghett'Out Film Festival at the Brattle
One of the most influential and beloved of independent
films, Charles Burnett's Killer of Sheep (1979) tells the stark and wrenching story of a
stockyard worker in Watts whose ennui and frustration threatens to destroy his
family and his life. Few filmmakers have so successfully recreated the
enervating reality of everyday existence and its fleeting glimpses of
transcendence and beauty. Burnett, one of our greatest and least appreciated
filmmakers, will be on hand to discuss the film. It is the first selection in
the Ghett'Out Film Festival, a
series of low-budget, French-produced movies seeking a broader audience, and it
takes place at the Brattle Theatre, 40 Brattle St, Cambridge | Friday, April 6 @ 7:30 pm | $9.75; $7.75 students; $6.75 seniors |
