A decade after his death, genre-defying filmmaker William Greaves has one last trick up his sleeve with what he considered the most important event he captured on film: a 1972 party he engineered with the living luminaries of the Harlem Renaissance. For four hours, this extraordinary group – many of whom had not seen each other in fifty years – reminisced, critiqued, argued, laughed, and drank while wrestling with their place in a rapidly shifting cultural landscape. Shot on 16mm film, newly restored, and now finished by Greaves’ son David, this film allows the audience to be the fly on the wall at one of the most amazing cocktail parties ever. 100 min. “The excavation of such history feels nothing short of monumental.” – Aisha Harris, NPR
