Houston Cinema Arts Society and Houston Museum of African American Culture will present a drive-in screening of the Sundance-winning documentary, Summer of Soul. The film will be preceded by an hour long Chopped and Screwed Mixtape by DJ Red featuring Stevie Wonder, Sly and the Family Stone, Nina Simone, and more.

In his directorial debut, Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson presents a powerful and transporting documentary - part music film, part historical record created around an epic event that celebrated Black history, culture and fashion. Over the course of six weeks in the summer of 1969, just one hundred miles south of Woodstock, The Harlem Cultural Festival was filmed in Mount Morris Park (now Marcus Garvey Park). The footage was never seen and largely forgotten - until now.

Each ticket is per vehicle and not per person. Registration is required and capacity is limited.
