 PARADISE THEATRE PRESENTS- Going to the Chapel: Weddings on Screen

About this event

What is summer in the city without the blistering heat, day trips to the Islands, and the customary weekend nuptial? For centuries weddings have been bringing people together and tearing them apart, so this July at the Paradise you are cordially invited to celebrate with us as we present seven unique on-screen unions. Let us gather together and experience traditions old, new, borrowed, and blue... You won't want to miss our special presentation of groundbreaking auteur Charles Burnett's once lost second feature. Paradise Theatre Presents Milestone Films' stunning restoration of 1983's MY BROTHER'S WEDDING

When Milestone first acquired the rights to My Brother's Wedding, Charles Burnett's one request was a chance to complete his film the way he wanted to almost 25 years ago.

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 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.
