SUMMARY:The Onyx Downtown presents Killer of Sheep
DESCRIPTION:Sunday, April 27 at 7:00 pm\nNEVADA THEATRE 4/27: The first full-length feature film from celebrated American director Charles Burnett, KILLER OF SHEEP has long been considered a hard-to-find masterpiece. Unable to secure wide distribution due to copyright issues with its soundtrack, this film nevertheless achieved critical acclaim, winning the Critics’ Award at the Berlin International Film Festival upon release. In 1990 the Library of Congress declared the film a national treasure and placed it among the first 50 films inducted in the National Film Registry for their historical significance. KILLER OF SHEEP examines life in the Black Los Angeles ghetto of Watts in the mid-1970s through the eyes of Stan, a sensitive dreamer who is growing detached and numb from the psychic toll of working at a slaughterhouse. Frustrated by money problems, he finds respite in moments of simple beauty: the warmth of a teacup against his cheek, slow dancing with his wife, holding his daughter. The film offers no solutions; it merely presents life — sometimes hauntingly bleak, sometimes filled with transcendent joy and gentle humor. Now, thanks to restoration work done by the UCLA Film & Television Archive, this touchstone of African American cinema returns to the screen.\n\n \n \n \n
