A performance by the Anointed Friends and screening of Say Amen, Somebody
Join us to close out the Film Festival of Joy with a night of jubilation and song featuring a live gospel choir. The evening kicks off with a live performance by the award-winning Anointed Friends, a Paterson-based gospel group founded by Roz Thompson who will be joined by Brittany Dawson, Tiffany McCutchen, Tyeshia Reels.
Next up, we’ll screen Say Amen, Somebody, one of the most acclaimed music documentaries of all time following the father and matron of gospel and earth-shaking performances.
Say Amen, Somebody
One of the most acclaimed music documentaries of all time, Say Amen, Somebody is George Nierenberg’s masterpiece — a joyous, funny, deeply emotional celebration of African American culture, featuring the father of Gospel, Thomas A. Dorsey (“Precious Lord, Take My Hand”); its matron, Mother Willie Mae Ford Smith; and earth-shaking performances by the Barrett Sisters and the O’Neal Twins.
