SEE: DRYLONGSO AT MASLES CINEMA


Harlem Bespoke:  The spring season will have more on the calendar for everyone and local live events are some of the things to watch our for in the coming month.  Keep it all in the neighborhood and help support uptown's small businesses!

Thursday,  July 6th, 7:00PM, Dryslongso, in-theater screening at Maysles Cinema, 343 Lenox Avenue by West 127th Street.   A lost treasure of 1990s DIY filmmaking, Cauleen Smith’s Drylongso embeds an incisive look at racial injustice within a lovingly handmade buddy movie/murder mystery/ romance. Alarmed by the rate at which the young Black men around her are dying—indeed, “becoming extinct,” as she sees it—brash Oakland art student Pica (Toby Smith) attempts to preserve their existence in Polaroid snapshots, along the way forging a friendship with a woman in an abusive relationship (April Barnett), experiencing love and loss, and being drawn into the search for a serial killer who is terrorizing the city. .
