Space is the Place (1974)

Directed by John Coney

Featuring: Sun Ra

When the music stops the Earth will stop and everything upon it will die!  

See the film before you see The Sun Ra Arkestra at FEaST.  

"Space is the Place is a fast-moving arty film that can be likened to a good episode of television's Pee-Wee's Playhouse." - Josiah Howard, Blaxploitation Cinema: The Essential Reference Guide

"Sun Ra wasn’t from Alabama. He had to really be from Saturn. There’s no other way that this makes sense otherwise." - Sam Panico, B&S About Movies

"The film is as eccentric and inexplicable as Sun Ra himself. Space is the Place demands to be seen by every aficionado of bizarre cinema and equally bizarre jazz." - Alfred Eaker, 366 Weird Movies

Avant-jazz mystic Sun Ra brought his pioneering Afrofuturist vision to the screen with this film version of his concept album. It’s a wild, kaleidoscopic whirl of science fiction, sharp social commentary, goofy pseudo-blaxploitation stylistics, and thrilling concert performance, in which the pharaonic Ra and his Arkestra lead an intergalactic movement to resettle the Black race on their utopian space colony.

Plus a Something Weird short film!
