For the third year running, AFS Cinema plays host to curated highlights from the Los Angeles-based Pan African Film and Arts Festival’s February festival. That includes opening night film Move Ya Body: The Birth of House on Thursday, which documents the infamous Disco Demolition Night at Comiskey Park in 1979 and the unintended hand it had in inspiring the birth of house music at Chicago’s underground club scene. A Q&A follows the screening with director Elegance Bratton (The Inspection) and producer Chester Algernal Gordon, moderated by KUTX’s DJ Shani of The Groove Temple. Individual tickets are available, but you could just treat yourself to a PAFF pass to catch all the films, including closing night doc Sun Ra: Do the Impossible. – Kimberley Jones
