SUMMARY:Crosstown Arts Film Series presents LIQUID SKY
DESCRIPTION:The Crosstown Arts Film Series presents LIQUID SKY at Crosstown Theater. \nSlava Tsukerman / 1982 / 112 minutes / Rated R\nTickets: $5 at the door\nDoors at 6:30 p.m. | Films begin at 7:00 p.m. (sharp!) at Crosstown Theater \nMargaret (Anne Carlisle) is a fashion model with dreams of stardom\, whose alter ego and rival\, Jimmy (also Carlisle)\, abuses and takes advantage of her to satisfy his rampant drug addiction. Unknown to them\, tiny\, invisible aliens have landed on the roof above the squalor in which they live and begin killing anyone Margaret is intimate with to feed on their pleasure-giving neurotransmitters. All the while\, a German scientist attempts to capture and study them. Hailed by Time Magazine as a “two hour act of imagination\,” Slava Tsukerman’s LIQUID SKY is “an underground masterpiece of avant-garde science-fiction filmmaking. Set against the visual majesty of New York’s early ’80s New Wave scene\, and filled with arresting cinematography by Yuri Neyman\, along with an acclaimed original soundtrack.” – Vinegar Syndrome. \nThe Crosstown Arts Film Series showcases a diverse collection of independent\, international\, historically significant\, artistic\, experimental\, cult\, underground\, and documentary features.

Composer Christopher Stark and video artist Zlatko Ćosić embarked on a journey across the United States capturing audio and video for this multimedia experience. The work incorporates field recordings of the 2020 California wildfires along with sonic and visual imagery from Chris’s trip across Montana\, Oregon\, and California as well as parts of Colorado. Zlatko gathered footage from the American heartland surrounding Missouri as well as long form explorations of nature surrounding St. Louis. Stark created a work that can be experienced both in concert halls as well as in nature\, from gallery spaces to the Gowanus Canal. \nAbout Unheard-of//Ensemble: \nUnheard-of//Ensemble is a contemporary chamber ensemble dedicated to connecting new music to communities across the United States through the development and performance of adventurous programs\, using technology and interactive multimedia. Unheard-of is committed to the idea that new music belongs in every community\, and implements this mission through concerts and educational workshops throughout New York\, as well as across the United States through touring. Unheard-of’s scope and impact has grown dramatically since forming in 2014\, now a nation-wide community across multiple artistic genres. With an approach that is open and welcoming of all voices\, Unheard-of strives to be a vehicle for imaginative voices novel and experienced\, experimental and traditional\, uncomfortable and accessible. \nUnheard-of commissions large-scale multimedia projects\, runs its own summer workshop for emerging composers (the Collaborative Composition Initiative or CCI)\, and self-presents collaborative concerts with community organizations like the Gowanus Dredgers and Tideland Institute. These innovative projects range from concerts aboard rafts in the Gowanus Canal in Brooklyn\, to gallery spaces and concert halls. Unheard-of’s 2022-23 season features new commissions by Nickitas Demos\, Lila Meretzky\, Adam Mirza\, and “Unheard-of plays Unheard-of”\, a concert of premieres written by the ensemble. This October the ensemble tours Ohio\, visiting Kent State University\, Kent State’s Stark Campus\, and Oberlin. In November\, Unheard-of has a residency at Washington University of St. Louis\, visits Illinois State University\, and performs on Crosstown Arts’ series in Memphis\, Tennessee. Unheard-of’s spring features a four-day guest residency with the Northwestern University composition studio\, a concert at Chicago’s Constellation\, and a collaboration with Minnesota-based Spitting Image Collective workshopping and premiering new multimedia works written by the collective. \nUnheard-of//Ensemble’s 2021-22 season took them across the Midwest\, Southeast\, Texas\, and their home state of New York. Unheard-of served as the 2021-22 KEAR ensemble-in-residence at Bowling Green State University. They presented tours of the Midwest\, visiting the Johnstone Fund Series in Columbus\, Ohio\, Miami University\, Ohio University\, and West Virginia University. The group also toured the South with performances at University of Texas- San Antonio\, Texas State University\, Southeastern Louisiana University\, University of Tennessee Chattanooga\, Emory University\, Chattanooga State Community College\, and University of Georgia. In 2020-21\, the ensemble presented virtual residencies at Florida State University\, University of Florida\, University of Central Florida\, and the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga. To date\, the ensemble has premiered over 100 works with commissions. \nUnheard-of has received support from the Johnstone Fund for New Music\, the Dwight and Ursula Mamlok Foundation\, the Tennessee Arts Commission\, the Foundation for Contemporary Arts\, the Barlow Endowment\, the Alice M. Ditson Fund\, the Aaron Copland Fund\, the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council\, the New York Women Composers Organization\, the Brooklyn Arts Council\, and the Puffin Foundation. Unheard-of was a recipient of a Chamber Music America Classical Commissioning Grant to commission recent Rome Prize-winner Christopher Stark\, as well as a Chamber Music America Ensemble Forward Grant made possible with support of the New York Community Trust. \nTheir debut album Unheard-of//Dialogues was released to critical acclaim: “a fantastic debut by a group that has been doing more than their part to inject vitality into the new music scene for the last few years” (Jeremy Shatan\, An Earful). The album’s eclectic repertoire has garnered the attention of critics from ArtsATL (“Powerfully evocative”)\, Steve Smith of National Sawdust Log (“scintillating and evocative”)\, and Creative Loafing Atlanta (“mellifluous magic”). \nThis programming is made possible in part thanks to an Organizational Development Fund grant from New Music USA.

SUMMARY:Film Screening by Resident Artists R Jason Rawlings and Angelo Madsen Minax
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents NATIVES and NORTH BY CURRENT at Crosstown Theater. \nFree and open to the public\nDoors at 6:00 p.m.\, and films begin at 6:30 p.m. in Crosstown Theater. \nTwo films will be screened\, with a brief Q&A with the artists after the screening. \nIn Natives\, a short film by fall session artist in residence R Jason Rawlings\, two years after Hurricane Katrina\, a claims adjuster returns home to The Delta to little fanfare.   \nIn fall session artist in residence Angelo Madsen Minax’s feature-length film North by Current\, after the inconclusive death of his young niece\, the filmmaker returns to his rural Michigan hometown\, preparing to make a film about a broken criminal justice system. Instead\, he pivots to excavate the depths of generational addiction\, Christian fervor\, and trans embodiment. Lyrically assembled images\, decades of home movies\, and ethereal narration form an idiosyncratic and poetic undertow that guide a viewer through lifetimes and relationships. Like the relentless Michigan seasons\, the meaning of family shifts\, as Madsen\, his sister\, and his parents strive tirelessly to accept each other. Poised to incite more internal searching than provide clear statements or easy answers\, North by Current is a visual rumination on the understated relationships between mothers and children\, truths and myths\, losses and gains.

SUMMARY:Adam W. Sadberry: “Musical Journalism”
DESCRIPTION:Doors open at 7PM | Performance begins at 7:30PM \nTickets: $15 advance | $20 at the door ($5 student tickets available) \nPurchase tickets here \nThis is a concert inspired by Adam W. Sadberry’s late grandfather and unsung hero of the Civil Rights Movement\, L. Alex Wilson. Wilson’s work as an editor and journalist changed the world through covering pivotal Civil Rights events including the lynching of Emmett Till\, the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the desegregation of Central High School by the Little Rock 9\, the last of which played a part in Wilson’s transformation into a martyr. In this concert\, Adam intertwines articles that he collected from the archives of the Tri-State Defender\, Wilson’s newspaper in Memphis\, Tennessee\, with music that contextualizes the humanity and inhumanity of the stories. \nAdam will be joined on stage by pianist Dr. Artina McCain and clarinetist Dr. Andre Dyachenko. \nThis programming is made possible in part thanks to an Organizational Development Fund grant from New Music USA.

SUMMARY:Crosstown Arts Film Series presents BRUCE LEE VS. SUPERMAN
DESCRIPTION:The Crosstown Arts Film Series presents BRUCE LEE VS. SUPERMAN at Crosstown Theater. \nChia-Chun Wu / 1975 / 86 minutes / Rated R\nTickets: $5 at the door\nDoors at 6:30 p.m. | Films begin at 7:00 p.m. (sharp!) at Crosstown Theater \nAlong with THE DRAGON LIVES AGAIN\, BRUCE LEE VS. SUPERMAN is easily one of the most synapse-frying entries in the magical sub-genre known as Bruceploitation. Triad gangsters call Superman out of retirement to kidnap a scientist who solved the global food shortage crisis. Superman agrees to the deal in exchange for “money\, plenty of girls\, and booze.” The authorities enlist Kato (Bruce Li)\, the Green Hornet’s partner\, to help. Kato hires his friend Carter (also Bruce Lee)\, who looks\, dresses\, acts\, and wields nunchucks just like Bruce Lee. The result is total madness. A fascinating time capsule from the golden era of gonzo exploitation filmmaking\, BRUCE LEE VS. SUPERMAN has been preserved from the only known 35mm print in existence!  \nThe Crosstown Arts Film Series showcases a diverse collection of independent\, international\, historically significant\, artistic\, experimental\, cult\, underground\, and documentary features.
