Harpur Cinema Presents: Killer of Sheep
Charles Burnett, 1977, 60 min.
Friday, September 12, 2025, and Sunday, September 14, 2025: Lecture Hall 6, 7:30 pm. Doors open at 7:00 pm. $4 Single Admission.
Charles Burnett's cinematic masterpiece Killer of Sheep, magnificently restored in 4K with sparkling picture and sound, is one of the crown jewels of the Black indie filmmaking movement known as the L.A. Rebellion. The film evokes the everyday trials, fragile pleasures, and tenacious humor of blue-collar African Americans living in the Watts neighborhood of Los Angeles in the 1970s. Burnett made it on a minuscule budget with a mostly nonprofessional cast, combining keen on-the-street observation with a carefully crafted script.
