Experience the music of Jimmy Cliff, Toots and the Maytals and more through this remarkable tale of an outlaw musician in 1970s Jamaica.
Ivan, a rural musician, travels to Kingston in search of fame and fortune, but only finds reality. After a music producer refuses to play his record, Ivan goes rogue and achieves such notoriety while evading the police that his record’s popularity explodes.
Curated by filmmaker Mirissa Neff (This is National Wake) in conjunction with PS21, the SundaySound film series showcases arthouse music films. Each event opens with a dj set featuring music inspired by that night’s film.
