On Saturday, November 21, the Creative Alliance invites Baltimore families and film lovers to a one‑of‑a‑kind cinematic experience. The event begins at 7:30 p.m. in The Theater, where the cult‑classic action movie Can I Kick It? will be shown with a live musical soundtrack.
What makes this screening special?
Director Walter Hill’s neon‑lit odyssey follows a Coney Island gang as they battle rival crews across 1970s New York. The film mixes gang‑film grit with the mythic structure of a Greek odyssey, creating a visual template that helped shape hip‑hop’s aesthetic and urban storytelling. Rather than a standard movie night, each scene will be scored in real time by local DJ 2‑Tone Jones, who will weave together hip‑hop beats, soulful grooves, rock riffs, and other musical flavors.
Why Baltimore should be excited
The Creative Alliance has become a hub for innovative arts programming in the city, and this event underscores its commitment to offering fresh, community‑focused experiences. By pairing a beloved cult film with a live DJ set, the venue provides an interactive atmosphere that appeals to both longtime fans of the movie and newcomers looking for a lively night out.
Families, college students, and anyone interested in the intersection of film and music will find something to enjoy. The live soundtrack adds an element of surprise—no two screenings will sound exactly alike—making each performance a unique memory for attendees.
