To celebrate 50 years of HIP-HOP, the Palace cinema is collaborating with Ancienne Belgique to offer a special program:

On November 6, the artist MOOR MOTHER (Camae Ayewa) will present a cult hip-hop film: DO THE RIGHT THING.

The musical output of poet, musician, activist and lecturer at the Thornton School Of Music, Camae Ayewa - according to The Wire "the most radical Afrofuturist artist to emerge for years" - is now inimitable. She is ½ of the Black Quantum Futurism collective and releases records under her stage name Moor Mother, 700 Bliss (with DJ Haram) as well as with free jazz collective Irreversible Entanglements, which has just released a new album on the legendary Impulse! Label.

Irreversible Entanglements will play live on November 6 at AB (start 9.15pm)

DO THE RIGHT THING 

Spike Lee

US, 120', 1989, VO EN ST FR

On the hottest day of the year on a street in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn, everyone's hate and bigotry smolders and builds until it explodes into violence.

Salvatore "Sal" Fragione (Danny Aiello) is the Italian owner of a pizzeria in Brooklyn. A neighborhood local, Buggin' Out (Giancarlo Esposito), becomes upset when he sees that the pizzeria's Wall of Fame exhibits only Italian actors. Buggin' Out believes a pizzeria in a black neighborhood should showcase black actors, but Sal disagrees. The wall becomes a symbol of racism and hate to Buggin' Out and to other people in the neighborhood, and tensions rise.
