Once Upon a Time in Harlem / 2026/ USA/ Dir: William Greaves, David Greaves / 100 Min/ Current Rotten Tomatoes Score: 100%
A decade after his death, genre-defying filmmaker William Greaves has one last trick up his sleeve with what he considered the most important event he captured on film: a 1972 party he engineered with the living luminaries of the Harlem Renaissance. For four hours, this extraordinary group – many of whom had not seen each other in fifty years – reminisced, critiqued, argued, laughed and drank while wrestling with their place in a rapidly shifting cultural landscape.
Shot on 16mm film, newly restored and now directed by Greaves’ son David, this documentary is at once a self-exploration and an inquiry into the heart of the critical mass of energy called the Harlem Renaissance.
