John Coney

John Coney: Not many traces remain of this director since the inconspicuous release, thirty years ago, of Space Is the Place. Indeed, he is known to the public only in connection with this title. Perhaps it is best to look at "blaxploitation" movies with a certain historical objectivity, just as when watching the films of Edward D. Wood Jr. The movie not only investigates the music of Sun Ra's Arkestra, but also the spirit of the period and the ideological background that helped create a ritually textured, distinctive Afro-American music.
