CFA has commissioned a new 35mm print of The Film Group’s The Murder of Fred Hampton (1971), struck from UCLA’s photochemically-restored internegative of this feature-length documentary. This newly created print will screen for the first time as part of the 70th edition of the Berlin International Film Festival – commonly known as the Berlinale.
The Murder of Fred Hampton was included in the Berlinale’s inaugural 1971 line-up, just as it was completed and facing numerous distribution challenges at home in the United States. We are proud that this important film will be screened at the Berlinale once again this year.
