Film / Film News Pimp my screening
Posted By Matt Brunson on Thu, Jun 20, 2013 at 3:00 PM
Chris Rock, Snoop Dogg and Quincy Jones are just some of the luminaries who turn up in Iceberg Slim: Portrait of a Pimp, which will be screened at 6:30 p.m. Monday, June 24, at Studio Movie Grill in the Epicentre.
Co-produced by Ice-T (who also appears in the film) and directed by his longtime business partner Jorge Hinojosa, this documentary uses period footage and modern-day interviews to examine the life of Robert Beck (1918-1992), aka Iceberg Slim, a vicious pimp who worked in that disreputable field for over two decades before turning his attention to writing about his experiences. This career change led to a series of bestselling books which gave birth to "street literature" as well as allowed the author to emerge as an influential figure to generations of rappers, hip-hop artists and comedians. (Ice-T and Ice Cube both based their show biz names on his.)
Admission to the screening, which is being presented by the Charlotte Black Film Festival (in association with Oju Image Collective and Phase 4 Films), is $8. For more details, or to purchase tickets, go here.

Posted By Matt Brunson on Thu, Jun 13, 2013 at 12:47 PM
The Back Alley Film Series kicks off its summer series tonight with a screening of the dark comedy Sightseers. The group will offer two movies a month between now and Labor Day; all will be screened at Crownpoint Stadium 12, 9630 Monroe Road, at 7:30 p.m. Thursdays (except for Adjust Your Tracking, which will be on a Wednesday night). Admission per film is $10. The lineup is below; for complete details, go here.
- IFC Films
- Sightseers
June 13: SIGHTSEERS. A road trip turns bloody as an oddball couple murder their way across the English countryside.
June 27: BERBERIAN SOUND STUDIO. In the 1970s, a British sound technician (Toby Jones) accepts an assignment working on Italian gore flicks, with disturbing results.
July 11: MANIAC. A remake of the notorious 1980 slasher flick of the same name, this stars Elijah Wood as a serial killer with a penchant for female scalps.
July 18: V/H/S/2. This immediate sequel to last year's V/H/S again employs a roomful of old videocassettes to set up an anthology of terror tales.
August 7: ADJUST YOUR TRACKING. Subtitled The Untold Story of the VHS Collector, this documentary examines the world of those folks who will always love videocassettes more than DVDs or Blu-rays. (The screening will be followed by a Q&A with directors Dan Kinem and Levi Peretic.)
August 29: PRINCE AVALANCHE. NC School of the Arts grad David Gordon Green hopes to bounce back from the critical and commercial destruction of Your Highness and The Sitter with this yarn about two men (Paul Rudd and Emile Hirsch) who become friends while painting lines down highways.
