Vidiots welcomes actor, musician, writer, poet, and star of Slam, Saul Williams in-person for this special screening.

Rediscover the poetry of this Sundance Grand Jury Prize-winning powerhouse of creativity and emotion. Ray Joshua (Saul Williams) is a talented young MC dealing with the grim reality of his fraught environment in the Washington DC projects. After imprisonment on drug charges he meets a poet (Sonja Sohn from The Wire) who helps channel the words and emotions inside him. With enthralling slam poetry and a killer soundtrack including Q-Tip, dead prez, ODB, Mobb Deep, and Saul Williams himself, this compelling film demands a big screen and hefty speakers!

Slam has been digitally restored from the 35mm interpositive, and a new DCP created in collaboration between Sundance Institute, the Academy Film Archive, the UCLA Film & Television Archive, and Lionsgate.
