SUMMER of Soul is the next offering from Keighley Film Club.

The musical documentary features previously-unseen footage of the 1969 Harlem Cultural Festival, which ran over six weekends.

Included are live performances and revealing interviews with the likes of Stevie Wonder – who was at a turning point in his career – Gladys Knight, BB King and Nina Simone.

Summer of Soul (12a) scooped the Grand Jury Prize and audience awards at the recent Sundance Film Festival.

"This film will appeal to young and old soul music enthusiasts alike," said Alan Watkinson, for the film club.

"It captures the spirit of the watershed moment on black music when it became intertwined with the politics of civil rights following events the previous year.

"The festival – at Mount Morris Park, Harlem – was supported by the New York mayor, and many songs were inspired by the event.

"Rotten Tomatoes analysis drew over 200 reviews, with a 99 per cent satisfaction rating.

"Director Almir Thompson and producer Robert Fyvolent waded through 40 hours of footage to create the film."

The screening is at Keighley Picture House on Sunday, December 19. Doors open at 5.30pm and the film starts at 6pm. Non-members welcome.
