Two-color one-sheet movie poster folded into 8 panels. 104x68 cm (41x27"). The Cool World is a 1963 feature film directed by Shirley Clarke about African-American life in the Royal Pythons, a youth gang in Harlem. In 1994, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". This semi-documentary style movie was produced by soon-to-be documentary filmmaker Frederick Wiseman, directed by Shirley Clarke and adapted by Clarke and Carl Lee from the 1959 novel The Cool World by Warren Miller. The Cool World starred real Harlem youth, including some who were actual gang members. The film is considered by some critics to be the first film within the Blaxploitation genre.
