Well, you missed it. Tuesday night, on the nationwide launch of the six-day Cinema Week initiative coordinated by studios, theater operators and other keenly interested marketing parties, the fantastic new concert film “Summer of Soul” screened at the Kerasotes ShowPlace ICON Theatres in the South Loop, in advance of the movie’s July 2 opening. Raffles. Popcorn. Mavis Staples and Mahalia Jackson sharing a microphone, in rarely seen and truly stunning musical footage, captured in Harlem in the summer of 1969.
