Parrish Art Museum and the Bridgehampton Child Care & Recreational Center (BHCCRC) continue their history of partnership with the fourth Black Film Festival at the Museum, on Friday, August 11, from 6:30-10 pm, celebrating 50 years of hip-hop music and culture. Part I features a reception and exhibition tour; panel discussion on hip-hop; and screening of the 1990 hip-hop classic House Party. A ticketed off-site afterparty follows the screening (Please note: The film is rated R and all children under the age of 17 are required to be accompanied by a parent or guardian.)
Tour
The evening begins with a reception and brief tour of the new exhibition James Brooks: A Painting Is a Real Thing, a retrospective of the abstract expressionist artist who lived and worked in Springs, East Hampton, from 1957 until his passing in 1992, and was a key figure in the local art community. The exhibition features more than 100 of the most important paintings, prints, and works on paper by Brooks, dating from the 1920s to 1983.
Hip Hop Panel Discussion
Three panelists will discuss the half-century history of hip-hop, and its profound, enduring impact on music and culture. Panelists include Bakari Kitwana—author, journalist, and political analyst who directs the Rap Sessions: Community Dialogues on Hip-Hop; 1/2 Pint—an educator, hip-hop artist, educational consultant, podcast co-host, and webcast producer; and The Legendary DJ Belal—an A&M recording artist, touring DJ, and member of Groove B Chill, Uptown.
Film: House Party
(1990, 1hr 40 min., Rated R)
House Party was written and directed by Reginald Hudlin, based on his award-winning Harvard University student film. In 2022, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.” The film’s hip-hop and R&B soundtrack, released on March 1990 by Motown Records, peaked at 104 on the Billboard 200 and 20 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums.
The Story: When Play’s (Christopher Martin) parents are out of town, he plans a house party of the century. His best friend Kid (Christopher Reid) is determined to go despite being grounded. Neither can predict what’s in store on what could be the wildest night of their lives.
The program takes place on the Museum’s Terrace and event lawn. Please bring your own chairs, no Museum seating is provided.
Save the Date: Black Film Festival, Part II, will be held on Friday November 10, 2023.
Support for the Black Film Festival is provided by Suffolk County Office of Cultural Affairs; Support for Friday Nights is provided by The Corcoran Group.
