Feature films like “The Supremes At Earl’s All You Can Eat,” “Albany Road” cfdgh078//sdewqa

There was no shortage of features focused on the social issues of contemporary and historic black life, such as “How to Sue the Klan” and “False Positive,” which focuses on the pursuit of justice. But there were also films about Black culture, traditions, and even romance such as “It Was All A Dream” and “Freedom Hair”.  

Feature films like “The Supremes At Earl’s All You Can Eat,” “Albany Road” (which also played Ebertfest this year), and “Luther: Never Too Much” were among the highlights of the festival, packing theatres to standing room only, with people turned away at the door. The audience was so excited about Luther Vandross that you could hear them singing along to every song and musical interlude during the film. It was a great reminder how important and valuable it is for audiences to have in-person screenings, a valuable way for audiences to connect and share an experience.
