The Atlanta Film Society is proud to present the Atlanta premiere of THE SPOOK WHO SAT BY THE DOOR in its glorious 4K restoration. Certainly among the most radical major-release pictures of the 70s, THE SPOOK WHO SAT BY THE DOOR was an overnight success upon its 1973 premiere before disappearing almost entirely, with some even alleging direct government suppression.

This screening will include an after-film panel discussion with participants including Natiki Pressley (daughter of writer Sam Greenlee) and Nomathandé Dixon (daughter of director Ivan Dixon), who worked with the Library of Congress to restore this nearly-lost classic of Black independent filmmaking.
