When Black Film Archive launched in August 2021, one of my most asked questions was “well… How do I watch “Killer of Sheep?” – the 1978 masterpiece of every day Black poetry from Charles Burnett.
Lovvved reading about your process & can’t wait for the Criterion release !! Can’t think of a more important American film restoration in recent memory…or a film I’d want to watch on repeat more 🔂🔂🔂
This is so wonderful. I remember months ago seeing the announcement of the restoration of this film and feeling immense warmth in my heart. Can't wait for the day Killer Of Sheep screens in Atlanta!
Love that you shared the fascinating background to this beautiful film’s restoration. 🙏🏾Seeing it again tonight, with eyes anew!
