She’s Gotta Have It


30th Anniversary Screening!

The release of She’s Gotta Have It heralded a new era in independent cinema and formally introduced the world to Spike Lee, whose funny and original take on black female sexuality established“…the black filmmaker [as] a viable force in mainstream cinema. There had been black directors who had gotten attention before, but with Spike, there was something totally different. It was so contemporary and had such an interesting edge to it” (Donald Bogle, film historian). Shot in 12 days in Brooklyn on a shoe-string budget, She’s Gotta Have It grossed more than $7 million in 1986, making it one of the most successful independent films ever made. Join us for this special 30th anniversary screening on 35mm, “Please baby, please baby, please baby, baby baby please!”
