Join us at Cinemonde #25 as we take a joyful journey back to the refreshing rhythm and blues sound of the 70s to re-discover the exhilarating indie gem, STONY ISLAND, and celebrate the 35th anniversary of (in Roger Ebert’s words) “a bouncy, lively, engaging movie that captures a city’s spirit with a certain refreshing cynicism.” That city is Chicago and most specifically chitown’s unique, vibrant south side neighborhood that gives this infectious, foot-stomping film its title, its energy and its soul. |

The Windy City’s intersection of Stony Island and 63rd has been a bastion of rhythm and blues for generations, melding Swing, Jazz, Soul & Gospel into its own special funky sound, where Louis Armstrong and a host of other musical innovators found work in the early 1900s, whose legendary post-WWII clubs regularly featured the likes of Sam Cooke, Muddy Waters, Bo Diddley, Howlin’ Wolf and Chuck Berry, and where a couple of Polish brothers launched Chess Records, one of the most influential R&B labels in the country.

| STONY ISLAND is the story of Richie Bloom, the only white kid on the block who wants to form a R&B band. Armed with little more than talent, wit and bravado, Richie brings together a group of resilient musicians and, with few resources, pulls off the impossible, a smash debut at a hip Chicago club. To discuss their seminal work, Cinémonde will welcome STONY ISLAND’s director/producer Andrew Davis and its writer/producer Tamar Simon Hoffs (as well as some surprise guests) for what should be a memorable soiree of good music, good food, good drink and good people. Seating for all Cinemonde soirees is limited. You need to be invited in order to participate. We send out invitations by e-mail to a select listing of “Cinémonders” who are entertainment/film/media professionals. Or want to be. You can also request an invitation by e-mailing us at: cinemonde@mistralartistmanagement.com. Everyone needs to be invited personally, thus underscoring the private nature of the series. Guests reserve their places beforehand on a first-come, first-serve basis. Tickets for Soiree #25 can be pre-paid through PayPal (it’s easy, all credit cards accepted): Reserve Cinemonde |
