“Intergalactic Ambassador” and avant-garde musician Sun Ra stars as a Black Power-inspired alien in the 1974 low-fi classic “Space is the Place.” As the final film to be screened at Afterall’s summer rooftop sci-fi series, Ra’s extraterrestrial blaxploitation production perfectly embodies the series’ manifesto: “outer space is a metaphor for psychological inner space.”
