Event Film and Video Screenings "Shaft" (MGM, 1971)

Join us at the Packard Campus Theater for a showing of, "Shaft (MGM, 1971)." 

Gordon Parks directed this often violent detective film starring Richard Roundtree. The success of the film led to a series of action films with African-American leads, a genre that became known as “Blacksploitation”… including a number of Shaft sequels. Isaac Hayes sets the mood with the Oscar winning theme song.  Color, 100 minutes. Rated R. Add to the Registry in 2000.
