[Press release from Cleveland Cinemas.]
Syndctd Entertainment & International Films Management (IFM) have
officially announced they will theatrically re-release Perry Henzell’s cult
classic film “The Harder They Come,” to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of its US
premiere. On opening night in Kingston, Jamaica, the reggae-fueled
hit provoked riots when thousands could not get into the sold-out Carib
Theater. The February 1973 launch in New
York led to six straight years of cannabis-smoke filled midnight screenings around the United States and has
gone on to become one of the best regarded independent films of all time.
The film will screen
on Thursday, September 5th at 7:30
PM at the Apollo Theatre (19 E. College St., Oberlin,
OH) and the Cedar Lee Theatre (2163 Lee Rd., Cleveland Hts., OH). Tickets are $10 and are on sale at the
theatre box offices and online at clevelandcinemas.com.
