Screening: “You Don’t Have to Go Home, But…” by Aidan Un

You Don’t Have to Go Home, But . . .by Aidan Un (USA, 2024, 78 min) is an ode to dancing bodies, a grimy love letter to Philly, a story about what to do when the DJ has played the last song, the club’s lights come on, and you gotta go . . . somewhere. Following dancers at different stages of their artistic lives, with legendary party Second Sundae as backdrop, this film examines the possibility of spiritual fulfillment in a socioeconomic configuration that ultimately doesn’t value the practices that make us free.

The evening will also feature the next generation of storytellers, opening with “Hop Hop Life”, produced through Scribe’s Documentary History Project for Youth (DHPY). The event will also feature appearances by Second Sundae dancers who helped shape the scene, joining Un for a post-screening discussion about the community, history, and influence of hip-hop culture.
