Summer of Soul is a stunning unearthed treasure destined to become a pillar of American music and African American history. In his striking debut as a filmmaker, the legendary musician Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson presents this transporting documentary—part concert film, part historical record—about an epic event that radiated the wholesale reevaluation of Black history, culture, fashion, and music. This rich tapestry deftly incorporates an unforgettable musical revue that includes many rare gems, such as a Stevie Wonder drum solo and a duet between Mahalia Jackson and Mavis Staples. Summer of Soul shines a light on the importance of history to our spiritual well-being and stands as a testament to the healing power of music. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Film run time: approx. 2hrs ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ BVOH COVID-19 Protocol: - 50% occupancy, seats placed in pairs socially distanced. - masks are required inside the building at all times regardless of vaccination status - there will be no food or drinks consumed inside the building at any time - please refrain from attending if you have a cough, fever or any other COVID-19 related symptoms ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Programs at BVOH are made possible by: San Francisco Arts Commission, Grants For The Arts, the San Francisco Foundation, Phyllis C.
