DESCRIPTION:\n\n	With director Melvin Van Peebles in person \n	\n	Moderated
  by Warrington Hudlin\, President of the Black Filmmaker Foundation and Mu
 seum trustee \n	\n	\n	Dir. Melvin Van Peebles. 1971\, 97 mins. Restored 35
 mm print from The Museum of Modern Art. With Melvin Van Peebles. Melvin Va
 n Peebles’s revolutionary cri de coeur—dedicated to “all of the black brot
 hers and sisters who have had enough of The Man”—dropped like an X-rated b
 ombshell on 1970s America and set off a wave of subversive black cinema. T
 he writer/producer/director/composer stars as the eponymous\, well-endowed
  sex show performer who fights back when he witnesses a pair of white cops
  beating up a Black Panther member\, precipitating a wild\, surreal flight
  through South Central Los Angeles. Brash\, hallucinatory\, and furiously 
 angry\, Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song is a visionary mash-up of DIY ex
 perimentation and radical politics. Queens World Film Festival is honoring
  Melvin Van Peebles with this year’s “Spirit of Queens” award.&nbsp\; Foll
 owing the screening\, Warrington Hudlin\, Museum trustee and president of 
 the Black Filmmaker Foundation\, will moderate a conversation with Van Pee
 bles. \n	\n	\n	  Tickets: $15 ($11.25 for members at the Film Lover level
