Sensible Cinema is back on track as much as possible during COVID.  I hope you’ve all fared well over the holidays.  Happy New Year!
 
Our film this month is a tribute to Sidney Poitier, who passed away last week.  In January, we normally screen a film about Dr. Martin Luther King, but this seemed a better option.  Especially since we’ve done many films featuring MLK already.  Here’s the email version of the flyer:

Sensible Cinema

Unitarian Universalist Center

   Sponsored by the UUSF Social Justice Council

In commemoration of Actor/Activist Sidney Poitier(1927-2022)
                        In the Heat of the Night

Virtual Screening, Friday, January 21, 2022, 6:30pm (Pacific Time)

Unitarian Universalist Center 1187 Franklin Street @ Geary Blvd.

The January Sensible Cinema screening departs from its annual tribute to Martin Luther King and pays tribute to Actor/Activist Sidney Poitier and to screen his award-winning film In the Heat of the Night.
 
The film, directed by Norman Jewison, is described as a tense, funny and thought-provoking whodunit taking a look at racism and murder in a small American town.   

In the Heat of the Night gained notoriety for its many breakthroughs.  It was the first major Hollywood film to feature racism; it was the first to portray a Black male in a lead as highly smart and educated; and it was the first American to show a Black person strike a white person.  This film along with his three films before made Poitier a bona fide star.
