SUMMARY:Shoot & Splice: Creative Producing
DESCRIPTION:Many people assume that the role of a producer is only about finding money and selling a film. But what does it mean to be a creative producer? Join Indie Memphis & Crosstown Arts in a conversation with producers Tracee Comfort and Princeton Echols to find out why producing is one of the more misunderstood but creatively fulfilling roles in production. \nTopics will include how to manage a production\, casting\, story and script development\, working with a director\, and much more. \nFree and open to the public\nDoors at 6:30 pm | Presentation at 7 pm \nThis Shoot & Splice is presented by Indie Memphis\, Crosstown Arts\, and the Black Creators Forum at the Indie Memphis Film Festival. The heart of the Black Creators Forum is a two-day symposium of panels\, discussions\, and workshops for black filmmakers\, scholars\, and critics. The goal is to ease the barrier of entry for black artists who would like to work in film. The Forum also supports screenings\, meet-ups\, and artist support programs throughout the year\, including a free-for-all Pitch Rally during the festival.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED Spotlight Concert Series: Piano Quintets Lost in Time
DESCRIPTION:** This event is postponed until further notice.  \nJoin us in Crosstown Theater for the Spotlight Concert Series\, featuring piano quintets by composers Dora Pejacovic and Zdenek Fibich. \nThis special performance by Memphis Symphony Orchestra musicians Priscilla Tsai\, Jordan Musgrave\, Ruth Burgess\, Josh Muzzi\, and pianist Tingting Yao features a program of piano quintets “lost in time” by composers Dora Pejacovic and Zdenek Fibich. \nGeneral Admission $10 | $5 with student ID\nDoors at 6 pm | Performance at 7 pm \nViolinist Jordan Musgraves writes about the program:\n“We happened upon these pieces in a YouTube channel that features recordings of obscure pieces. These are two that really stand out\, not only because the quality is so good but because when you dig down into why they never became widely known\, it seems such a shame that we don’t know these composers today. \nZdenek Fibich was a contemporary of Smetana and Dvorak and actually the first to ever use Czech folk music in symphonic works (their use of folk song was inspired by Fibich). In his time\, he did have some acclaim\, though he was criticized for not being quite Czech nationalist enough and especially for composing operas in the Wagnerian style. Born of a Czech father\, a forestry official\, and a German-Viennese mother\, he was of mixed heritage and was boycotted by most of the Czech orchestras. His music only survives because of his students\, who championed it. \nDora Pejacovic\, a Hungarian-Croatian composer firmly in the Romantic era\, was slightly later in time. Her music did not reach wide acclaim\, but even in an era of music and society dominated by men\, she had a large output of composition\, starting at age 12. She was mostly a self-taught composer\, but luckily for us\, was encouraged by several other composers who saw her talent and advocated for her music. She might have composed much more but sadly passed away following childbirth at age 39. Today\, there is an ongoing effort to publish her music\, much of which remains unpublished.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED Crosstown Arthouse presents Klute
DESCRIPTION:** The event is postponed until further notice. \nJane Fonda (Cat Ballou\, They Shoot Horses Don’t They?\, Barbarella) stars as a groovy call girl and wannabe actress who may or may not be connected to a dead john (who ran a chemical company by day). Donald Sutherland (MASH\,  The Kentucky Fried Movie) plays the title character Klute\, a detective brought in by a chemical company executive to find out what really happened. Co-starring Roy Scheider (Jaws\, Jaws II) as Jane Fonda’s pimp. Also co-starring the super-fun and sleazy NYC of the 1970s. Klute won a lot of Oscars\, but don’t hold that against it. IT IS A GREAT MOVIE ANYWAY!! \nAlan J. Pakula/1971/114 minutes \nThe Crosstown Arthouse Film Series showcases a diverse collection of independent\, international\, historically significant\, artistic\, experimental\, cult\, underground and documentary features. \nFilms begin at 7:30 pm sharp at Crosstown Theater\nTickets are $5 (at the door only)

SUMMARY:POSTPONED Crosstown Arthouse presents Tokyo Knights
DESCRIPTION:** This event is postponed until further notice. \nSeijun Suzuki was a journeyman director for Nikkatsu\, one of the oldest Japanese film production companies in existence. Suzuki eventually went from journeyman to auteur\, slipping weird elements into what should have been run-of-the-mill Yakuza fare. Finally Suzuki made the legendary Branded to Kill (R.I.P.\, Joe Shishido) for Nikkatsu and was fired! \nSuzuki persevered and made more films\, but Crosstown Arts is going back to his roots with a screening of Tokyo Knights. Pre-dating the idea of “millennials\,” Tokyo Knights  is about a boy named Koji who is good at\, well\, everything. Koji’s pop passes\, and Koji goes home to take over his family’s “construction business\,” crush it at school\, and get the truth as to what happened with his daddy. \nSeijun Suzuki/1961/82 minutes \nThe Crosstown Arthouse Film Series showcases a diverse collection of independent\, international\, historically significant\, artistic\, experimental\, cult\, underground and documentary features. \nFilms begin at 7:30 pm sharp at Crosstown Theater\nTickets are $5 (at the door only)
