CELEBRATING CINEMA FILM CLUB:
JUICE INCL. INTRODUCTION
For this edition of Celebrating Cinema Club, we’re revisiting the cult classic Juice, a cornerstone of Black American cinema and a defining work of the ’90s. Following our conversation with filmmaker Ernest Dickerson on our Celebrating Cinema podcast, we’re excited to showcase this seminal film, which has had a lasting impact on hip-hop culture and a powerful portrayal of young Black men navigating the complexities of growing up in Harlem.
Widely referenced in music, television, and film, Juice offers a nuanced exploration of friendship, power, and respect, connecting the emerging hip-hop scene with the experiences of marginalized youth. This screening will be accompanied by an introduction and a special pre-recorded message from Dickerson, reflecting on the film’s lasting cultural impact.
