Kennedy-King: Chicago International Film Festival

Join us on Friday, October 24, for a free screening of Sun Ra: Do the Impossible, a documentary that delves into the mind of one of the most visionary figures of the 20th century. Through rare archival footage, pulsing performances, and reflective interviews, the film paints a powerful portrait of the jazz icon and philosopher. Chronicling his musical rise—including his transformative years in Chicago, where his radical sound and communal ethos took root—the documentary explores how Sun Ra used music as both a spiritual weapon and a liberatory technology, reimagining Black identity across space and time.

This event is free and open to all City Colleges students, faculty, staff, and community members.

Tickets are free, but registration is required.

Kennedy-King College’s Center of Equity for Creative Arts (CECA) is proud to serve as a screening location for the 61st Chicago International Film Festival.
