The Oscar-winning filmmaker behind ‘12 Years a Slave’ talks to Marlow Stern about his “Soundtrack of America,” why ‘Widows’ was overlooked, and collaborating with Kanye West.
On Friday, April 5, an exciting performing-arts venue in New York City called The Shed will be christened with “Soundtrack of America,” a five-night concert series “celebrating the unrivaled impact of African-American music on contemporary culture.”
