# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Sweet Sweetback's Baadassss Song (Digital Restoration)
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 14 Aug, 2025 at 07:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Included in MoMA’s permanent collection and considered to be among the most significant features ever made by an African-American filmmaker, SWEET SWEETBACK is a brutal and shocking story of survival and is credited as one of the first Blaxploitation films.

Director/writer/producer/editor/composer Melvin Van Peebles stars as a Black orphan raised in a brothel and groomed to be a sex show performer. Set up by his boss and two corrupt cops for a murder he didn’t commit, Sweetback escapes custody and is thrust into an increasingly hallucinogenic world of violence and bigotry where no one can be trusted, and the possibility of death lurks at every corner…

Featuring a rousing score from a nascent Earth, Wind, & Fire, as well as surrealist visuals from stalwart genre cinematographer Robert Maxwell (THE CANDY SNATCHERS), Van Peebles creates an unforgettable study of perseverance in the face of racism.
