Now in its 10th year, Socrates Sculpture Park's Outdoor Cinema series combines performance, film, and food into a weekly, internationally-influences, sunset event. Tonight's event features an African influence with a screening of Abderrahmane Sissako's Bamako (115 min, 2006)... "In an outdoor courtroom in Mali, the World Bank and International Monetary Fund are on trial. Far from polemical, this surprisingly lyrical movie is a poetic exploration of modern-day Africa." DJ Stone provides African beats and rhythms while Astoria's Mundo Café serves Moroccan cuisine (food not free). Trailer below. All Ages.
