SUMMARY:MicroCinema: 2021 Sundance Film Festival Short Film Tour
DESCRIPTION:Pay-what-you-can screening of short films presented with partner organization Indie Memphis. \nThis month: 2021 Sundance Film Festival Short Film Tour  \nDue to Covid-19 safety precautions\, we are limiting theater capacity and implementing socially distanced seating. Please RSVP in advance to confirm attendance. Upon RSVPing\, you will be required to choose your seat. Please be prepared to wear your mask at all times during the event. \nThe 2021 Sundance Film Festival Short Film Tour is a 92-minute theatrical program of seven short films selected from the 2021 Sundance Film Festival program\, widely considered the premier showcase for short films and the launchpad for many now-prominent independent filmmakers for close to 40 years. Including fiction\, documentary\, and animation from around the world\, the 2021 program offers new audiences a taste of what the festival offers and shows that short films transcend traditional storytelling. \nThe festival has always treated short films with the highest regard and gives a home to both established and new filmmakers with shorts for audiences to discover and celebrate. From documentary to animation and narrative to experimental\, the abbreviated form is made for risk-taking. Short films are a significant and popular way artists can connect with audiences. \nThe festival’s Short Film Program has long been established as a place to discover talented directors\, such as past alumni Andrea Arnold\, Lake Bell\, Damien Chazelle\, Destin Daniel Cretton\, Jay and Mark Duplass\, Cary Joji Fukunaga\, Debra Granik\, Rashaad Ernesto Green\, Reinaldo Marcus Green\, Todd Haynes\, Lynne Ramsay\, Dee Rees\, Joey Soloway\, Taika Waititi\, and many others. \n

SUMMARY:Crosstown Arthouse presents The Muthers
DESCRIPTION:The Crosstown Arthouse Film Series presents Cirio Santiago’s The Muthers at Crosstown Theater. 1976/93 minutes/Rated R \nTickets: $5 at the door\nFilms begin at 7:30 pm (sharp!) \nWe can’t say it any better than the incredible American Genre Film Archive\, which is lovingly saving films like this for folks like us to show again in all their glory on a giant screen: “Sleaze ahoy! Directed by heroic smut merchant Cirio Santiago (TNT Jackson\, Vampire Hookers) and shot on-the-cheap in the Philippines\, The Muthers is like stepping into one of Martin Denny’s exotica LPs while it plays in Jess Franco’s living room. Filled with karate chops and epic psychedelic-funk jams\, this is the story of two pirates (Jeanne Bell and Rosanne Katon) who rob and loot on the China Seas\, get sent to a women’s prison presided over by a sadistic warden\, then revolt and turn the sky black with the smoke from their machine guns. In other words\, this is the only revolutionary-pirate-women-in-prison movie that you’ll ever need. Restored from the original negative for maximum savagery!” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Crosstown Arthouse Film Series showcases a diverse collection of independent\, international\, historically significant\, artistic\, experimental\, cult\, underground and documentary features.

Her piece Blue Glacier Decoy\, written as a musical response to the Olympic National Park\, depicts the melting glaciers of the Pacific Northwest.

She has produced for Kanye West (The Life of Pablo; Ye) and Nas (NASIR)\, and has contributed to records by The National\, and by Arcade Fire’s Richard Reed Parry. \nDescribed as “clearly structured\, colorful and unflaggingly compelling work” (Philadelphia Inquirer) and “a precise appeal to an inner ear beyond the mind” (Gramophone Magazine)\, the music of Michael Fiday is known for its expressive directness\, inventive sound world\, gradually unfolding dramatic narratives\, and distinctive rhythmic energy. His work has been commissioned and performed internationally by a broad range of renowned performers spanning the worlds of classical and contemporary music\, including Atlanta Symphony\, Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra\, American Composers Orchestra\, Oakland East Bay Symphony\, Orquestra Sinfonica de Guanajuato\, Percussion Ensemble of The Hague\, Mantra Percussion\, Percussion Group Cincinnati\, Duo Damiana (flutist Molly Barth\, guitarist Dieter Hennings)\, pianists Marc-Andre Hamelin and James Tocco\, violinists Carla Kihlstedt and Graeme Jennings\, and electric guitarists Seth Josel\, Derek Johnson and Taylor Levine.

SUMMARY:Crosstown Arthouse presents Woodlands Dark and Days Bewitched: A History of Folk Horror
DESCRIPTION:The Crosstown Arthouse Film Series presents Kier-La Janisse’s Woodlands Dark and Days Bewitched: A History of Folk Horror at Crosstown Theater. 2021/193 minutes/Rated R \nTickets: $5 at the door\nFilms begin at 7:30 pm (sharp!) \nWoodlands Dark and Days Bewitched: A History of Folk Horror explores the folk horror phenomenon from its beginnings in a trilogy of films – Michael Reeves’ Witchfinder General (1968)\, Piers Haggard’s Blood on Satan’s Claw (1971) and Robin Hardy’s The Wicker Man (1973) – through its proliferation on British television in the 1970s and its culturally specific manifestations in American\, Asian\, Australian\, and European horror\, to the genre’s revival over the last decade. Touching on over 200 films and featuring over 50 interviewees\, Woodlands Dark and Days Bewitched investigates the many ways that we alternately celebrate\, conceal\, and manipulate our own histories in an attempt to find spiritual resonance in our surroundings. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Crosstown Arthouse Film Series showcases a diverse collection of independent\, international\, historically significant\, artistic\, experimental\, cult\, underground and documentary features.
