COUNTRYMAN
by Dickie Jobson. 1982. 102 min.
NYC’s beloved West Indian Parade was one of the many celebrations that was cancelled due to the pandemic last year, so we’re giving the holiday special attention this Labor Day weekend. Countryman is an ambient journey into the realms of roots-reggae and mysticism. When two tourists crash their plane on the beach, they are rescued by real-life Rasta Countrymen, and overcome corrupt police plots with the help of rhythms from Marley, Toots, Scratch Perry, Aswad and more.
Join us before the screening for live DJ sets from local selectors, Jonny Go Figure and Joseph Dimension.
