Ebay has numerous copies of this Killer of Sheep movie. The lowest I saw was $12.00.

"Killer of Sheep was shot on location in Watts in a series of weekends on a budget of less than $10,000, most of which was grant money. Finished in 1977 and shown sporadically, its reputation grew and grew until it won a prize at the 1981 Berlin International Film Festival.

Since then, the Library of Congress has declared it a national treasure as one of the first fifty on the National Film Registry and the National Society of Film Critics selected it as one of the "100 Essential Films" of all time."


I just had a brain wave. The Rialto in SS very often shows Art films. You could maybe approach the management and see if they have any interest in running this movie.
