CINEMA & SOUND presents Black Panther

Busey Lot in Downtown Urbana

Join the Urbana Arts and Culture Program and The Urbana Free Library for Cinema & Sound, a new outdoor event series that combines film screenings with live music! Join us for films, music, and entertainment as we kick off the series with Black Panther (2018) with live music from Ibrahim Ouedraogo.

Marvel Studios’ “Black Panther” follows T’Challa who, after the death of his father, the King of Wakanda, returns home to the isolated, technologically advanced African nation to succeed to the throne and take his rightful place as king. But when a powerful old enemy reappears, T’Challa’s mettle as king—and Black Panther—is tested when he is drawn into a formidable conflict that puts the fate of Wakanda and the entire world at risk. Faced with treachery and danger, the young king must rally his allies and release the full power of Black Panther to defeat his foes and secure the safety of his people and their way of life.

Ibrahim Ouedraogo is a local musician and artist who comes from a family of musicians in Burkina Faso, West Africa. His performance includes all original songs and beautiful guitar music composed by Ibrahim and premiered at Spurlock Museum's 2021 WorldFest.

This month's film will be shown at Busey Bank parking lot, corner of Race and Main Streets in Downtown Urbana. Gather beginning at 7pm for artmaking and activities. The film begins at 8:30pm. Free and open to the public. Sponsored by The Urbana Free Library and the Urbana Arts and Culture Program.
