Finally get to screen ‘A Good Day to be Black and Sexy’

I have been looking forward to seeing this movie since it was announced at Sundance, and now, thanks to SLIFF, I finally get the opportunity. The film was done by Dennis Dortch, and from everything I have read and seen, this movie is passionate and eccentric. Here is what Dennis says about the film on its official MySpace page:

I set out to make a relationship film updating the theme of “Black is Beautiful.” Even though the stories are not necessarily directly on that theme, it’s all there in the imagery and composition. A film with soul. The Blackness. I was purposely looking to approach each vignette with a slightly different approach, style, and tone. It was a chance to be creative with film language and music in multiple directions in the same film that spoke to the same goal. The result is a ‘Mixtape on Film.’

For those of you that are in or around St Louis, make it out to see this! It will screen Monday Novemeber 17th at 9:30pm. Check out other films going on at the 2008 SLIFF.
