Top of the Heap (1972) w/ Director Q&A
Join SECRET BASE CINEMA and ESQUIRE for a special director’s screening of TOP OF THE HEAP with Dir. Christopher St. John. The movie is honest, thought provoking, and emotionally intense; and on Saturday January 21st the director will introduce his film along with a Q&A to follow after the film. Do not miss this extremely rare opportunity to see and hear the director’s vision and mindset behind the making of the movie. “Written and directed by Black filmmaker Christopher St. John (SHAFT), TOP OF THE HEAP is a majestic melding of genre thrills, sociological rage, and psychedelic experimentation. George (St. John) is a cop in Washington, DC, and he's proud to be one of the few Black officers on the force. Unfortunately, not everyone feels the same. When George is overlooked for a promotion, he loses his handhold on reality and launches a personal vendetta against street crime. That is, when he's not visiting alternate galaxies as an astronaut in his tripped-out dreams.” - @agfaCrimePT1H30MR2026-02-21Christopher St. John
