SWEET SWEETBACK’S BAADASSSSS SONG SCREENING AT BRAIN DEAD STUDIOS

Los Angeles! In celebration of our Record Store Day Black Friday 2023 compilation At The Movies, we’ve partnered with our friends at Brain Dead Studios on a screening of Melvin Van Peebles’ cult-classic film Sweet Sweetback’s Baadasssss Song on November 18th at 5 PM.

Sweet Sweetback’s Baadasssss Song is a 1971 American blaxploitation film written, co-produced, scored, edited, directed by, and starring Melvin Van Peebles. The film tells the picaresque story of a poor black man fleeing from the white police authorities. Considered a foundational film in Black cinema, Sweet Sweetback was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant”.
