Rockers is the series' closing weekend screening and the one that comes with a live introduction, so the room gets context before the lights go down. The cast is almost entirely real Kingston musicians playing versions of themselves, which gives it a documentary texture no scripted reggae film has matched. Pair it with Babylon at 7:00 p.m. in the same room for a full Sunday double bill.
What to expect
A 100-minute DCP presentation in Theater 3 with a pre-screening introduction by Aja Essex, starting at 9:15 p.m.
