That Ol' Black Magic

Earl Monroe & Al Attles Speak At "Black Magic" World Premiere

Basketball Legends And Co-Producers Participate In Panel Discussion At Documentary Screening

(Durham, North Carolina) — Full Frame Documentary Film Festival, has announced that Earl Monroe and Al Attles will participate in the panel discussion following the world premiere of the theatrical cut of "Black Magic". The premiere will be held Monday, Feb. 11 at 7:30 p.m. at the Carolina Theatre, located at 309 W. Morgan St. in Durham.

Attles and Monroe, prominent North Carolina basketball legends, are also two of the most influential black figures in the history of the sport. After graduating from North Carolina A&T State University, Attles became one of the first black NBA coaches in 1979 and persevered to become the second to win a NBA title. Monroe, a Winston-Salem State University graduate, was named one of the 50 Greatest Players in NBA History after an astounding 13-year career. Dan Klores, director of "Black Magic" and the 2007 critically acclaimed film festival hit "Crazy Love", will join Attles and Monroe on the panel to discuss the history that inspired the film. "Black Magic" tells the story of the injustice that defined the Civil Rights Movement in America, through the lives of basketball players and coaches who attended historically black colleges and universities.

Individual tickets for the "Black Magic" World Premiere and panel discussion are $12 and may be purchased at the event or by visiting the Box Office at www.fullframefest.org. Tickets for both the pre-screening party and film are available to Full Frame members for $35 and $50 for non-members.
