WEIRD SF: SPACE IS THE PLACE (1974) at Alamo Drafthouse
Sun Ra delivers a dose of afro-futurist acid jazz in this 4K Restoration.
Hosted by Chaki
Co-presented by Amoeba Music. Check them out here.
Spurring from his frequent lectures in the late '60s at UC-Berkeley, Sun Ra hits the big screen with a touch of the power cosmic in SPACE IS THE PLACE.
Sun Ra and his Arkestra return to Earth after several years in space. Ra proclaims himself “the alter-destiny”, meets with inner-city youths and battles with the devil himself to save his fellow man in this afro-futurist dose of acid jazz that plays like a mix between THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL, THE SEVENTH SEAL, and DOLEMITE. (Jake Isgar)
