Washingtonians woke up on Wednesday to a fully reopened state—one in which common activities of yore, like going to the movies, are once again a reality. Indie theaters don’t have any new streaming options on deck this week (don’t worry—you can still find links to their offerings from previous weeks on our on-demand calendar), but there are a few new releases hitting real-life screening rooms and drive-in theaters. Read our picks below.
New This Week
Summer of Soul
Woodstock wasn’t the only iconic New York music festival that took place over the summer of ’69—it was just the most televised. Over in Mount Morris Park, the six-week Harlem Cultural Festival brought on the likes of Stevie Wonder, Nina Simone, B.B. King, Sly & the Family Stone, Gladys Knight & the Pips, and other such revolutionary acts, whose performances are seen for the first time in this documentary debut from Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson.
