Our Karen Black retrospective series – THE WORKS: KAREN BLACK – has been a tremendous celebration of the amazing actress and the diversity of the roles she’s played as we’ve shown Easy Rider, Burnt Offerings, Five Easy Pieces, Family Plot, and Come Back to the Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean. The three-month program now concludes with The Day of the Locust this Friday and Saturday at midnite (buy tickets).
Nitehawk has also hosted special guests like Sean Young, Aida Ruilova, and Alan Cumming to introduce select films in the series but for one, our series debut of Easy Rider, Karen herself took the time to answer some of the biggest questions asked regarding the movie that marks a turning point in modern American cinema.
We thank all who came to support the series and, most of all, we thank Karen Black for giving culture something so incredible to celebrate.
