David gives his father special billing on the project\u2013 \u201cconceived and directed by William Greaves\u201d \u2013 and it is produced by Liana Greaves and Anne de Mare, who edited it alongside Lynn True; the music is composed by Harlem Geechee Goddess, Tamar-Kali.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Once Upon a Time in Harlem<\/em> debuted at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival, and also showed at Cannes; it will hit Telluride, TIFF, the BFI London Film Festival, and the\u00a0 New York Film Festival before opening wide in theaters on October 16.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In an especially poignant Sundance review of the film, the writer touches on the nuance of the conversations captured that night, and just how special this kind of documentation is for Black history.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe best choice that either Greaves makes is simply letting the conversations play out with minimal edits,\u201d <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.indiewire.com\/criticism\/movies\/once-upon-a-time-in-harlem-review-william-greaves-1235175513\/\">he writes.<\/a> \u201cRather than just showing these thinkers reciting their greatest hits, the longform discussions showcase all of the contradictions (and occasional rifts) between members of the same movement. It deprives viewers of the chance to oversimplify the Harlem Renaissance as a monolithic group of people who all believed the same thing. The inevitable nuance that arises from letting people express their actual thoughts for long enough is likely to be the film\u2019s greatest legacy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Watch the trailer for \u201c<em>Once Upon a Time in Harlem<\/em>\u201d below:\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"load-later load-later-vendor-wwwyoutubecom\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ESnX3LQbCVI\" data-content=\"%3Ciframe%20class%3D%22youtube-player%22%20width%3D%22640%22%20height%3D%22360%22%20src%3D%22https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2FESnX3LQbCVI%3Fversion%3D3%26amp%3Brel%3D1%26amp%3Bshowsearch%3D0%26amp%3Bshowinfo%3D1%26amp%3Biv_load_policy%3D1%26amp%3Bfs%3D1%26amp%3Bhl%3Den-US%26amp%3Bautohide%3D2%26amp%3Bwmode%3Dtransparent%22%20allowfullscreen%3D%22true%22%20style%3D%22border%3A0%3B%22%20sandbox%3D%22allow-scripts%20allow-same-origin%20allow-popups%20allow-presentation%20allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox%22%20title%3D%22Embedded%20video%22%3E%3C%2Fiframe%3E\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>SEE ALSO:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/newsone.com\/6867449\/david-jonsson-new-black-panther-casting-reactions\/\">David Jonsson Is The New Black Panther.
