Jamaica Vibes presents award winning films they never show in Jamaica.
Showtime is 7pm with short films and photography, then 9pm sharp for the feature presentation of MIRACLE AT ST ANNA.
Contribution $300
Miracle at St. Anna is a 2008 war film directed by Spike Lee and written by James McBride, based on McBride’s novel of the same name. The film was released on September 26, 2008, and is set during World War II, in the fall of 1944 in Tuscany and in the winter of 1983 in New York City and Rome. The film features cameo appearances by John Leguizamo, Christian Berkel and John Hawkes.
Miracle at St. Anna follows four black soldiers of the all-black 92nd Infantry Division who get trapped near a small Tuscan village on the Gothic Line during the Italian Campaign of World War II after one of them risks his life to save an Italian boy.
This is a movie they did show in Jamaica, and it is not award winning or good. This is one of the worst war movies ever made. It’s out on DVD if you think it’s worth the watch just rent it and skip going out and seeing it for a slightly higher price.
I even had a podcast episode where we reviewed this movie and spoke about Spike Lee in general. Check it out here http://bit.ly/SVt5D
Where was this film shown? Can i get more info about this Jamaica Vibes thing and specific times, dates and movies they might be showing in the near future. I’m bored for the summer.
This is the link to their facebook page. I think they have movie night once per month but you can check their page for details.
