Our Song

Presented on 35mm

Our Song follows best friends Lanisha (Kerry Washington), Maria (Melissa Martinez), and Joycelyn (Anna Simpson), each a member of their high school’s marching band, through the hot streets of Crown Heights during the closing weeks of one fateful summer. Featuring the on-screen debuts of Washington, Martinez, and Simpson—director Jim McKay’s coming-of-age classic is a stunning, lyrical portrait of female friendship.

In celebration of the JBFC’s 25th Anniversary, these screenings will feature our original 2001 pricing.

"Rich with scenes of affection, anger, and reconciliation, along with moments of unfeigned humor."
John Petrakis, Chicago Tribune
"Beautifully illuminates that poised-on-the-edge period of adolescence and the sad weight of leaving childhood behind."
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

This film is part of the Time Capsule 2001 series.
