B*A*P*S d. Robert Townsend, 1997 presented by Pinc x Black Ink Cinema at The Castle Cinema (24 MAY 18:45).

“We’re excited to host this female buddy comedy film starring Halle Berry and Natalie Desselle, full of fun, laughter and eccentric outfits! Nisi and Mickey are two Black American Princesses – or B.A.P.S. for short – who are Hollywood-bound and determined to star in a music video. Instead, they’re roped into a scam concocted by the nephew of the video’s director.” (Pinc)

Pinc presents you an opportunity to revel in the joy of camp cinema (as well as some of our own guilty pleasures along the way!). BLACK INK CINEMA is an inclusive space where all movie lovers can come and celebrate Black Cinema from old to new releases, while sparking insightful conversations.
