2007 Director's Cut
Now, following a beautiful restoration by the Pacific Film Archive and a beautifully-accomplished digital re-edit by the director, My Brother’s Wedding is set to take its place in film history. Like his initial effort Killer of Sheep, My Brother’s Wedding is an eye-opening revelation—it is wise, funny, heartbreaking and timeless.

Pierce Mundy works at his parents’ South Central dry cleaners with no prospects for the future and his childhood buddies in prison or dead. With his best friend just getting out of jail and his brother busy planning a wedding to a snooty upper-middle-class black woman, Pierce navigates his conflicting obligations while trying to figure out what he really wants in life. With Everett Silas and Jessie Holmes.

Co-presented by The Langston Hughes African American Film Festival.

This 2007 Director’s Cut will screen in HDCam and will be accompanied by a brand-new short Charles Burnett film, the Hurricane Katrina-themed Quiet as Keep (2007, 5 min).
