PART OF OUR 2026 MICHAEL SCHULTZ AWARD TRIBUTE TO KASI LEMMONS
The Candyman, a murderous soul with a hook for a hand, is accidentally summoned to reality by a skeptic grad student researching the monster's myth.
Lemmons' career spans acting and directing credits - before you see two films she directed on Saturday and engage in Q&As with her, check out one of her most recognized roles.
This screening will be preceded by a brief panel discussing urban folklore and Black horror featuring Rob "Biko" Baker, Ashley Jordan, and Breanna Taylor.
The 2026 Michael Schultz Award is presented with the support of Brewers Community Foundation and Mark and Wanda Staples

The Pitch
Madsen and Lemmons, courageous and plucky, make sympathetic heroines as they walk up and down the dangerous stairwells of Cabrini-Green, crawling through empty apartments looking for a monster.
