Influenced by her love for Rāga and Indian music\, Marcella also incorporates the harmonium and tanpura\, creating a unique soundscape that reflects her journey of spirituality\, ancestral healing\, and self-acceptance.

SUMMARY:Film Series :  In The Mood For Love (2000) directed by Wong Kar-wai
DESCRIPTION:Film Series :  In The Mood For Love (2000) directed by Wong Kar-wai\n\nHong Kong\, 1962: Chow Mo-wan (Tony Leung Chiu-wai) and Su Li-zhen (Maggie Cheung Man-yuk) move into neighboring apartments on the same day. Their encounters are formal and polite—until a discovery about their spouses creates an intimate bond between them. At once delicately mannered and visually extravagant\, Wong Kar Wai’s In the Mood for Love is a masterful evocation of romantic longing and fleeting moments. With its aching musical soundtrack and exquisitely abstract cinematography by Christopher Doyle and Mark Lee Ping-bin\, this film has been a major stylistic influence on the past decade of cinema\, and is a milestone in Wong’s redoubtable career. (Janus Films).\n\nDoors:6:30\nScreening: 7:00\n$5:00 per entry

SUMMARY:"The Films of Stan Brakhage" with an original live score by Cloudland Canyon
DESCRIPTION:The Crosstown Arts Film Series presents “The Films of Stan Brakhage” with an original live score by Cloudland Canyon at the Crosstown Theater on Thursday\, March 6\, at 7:00 pm.\n\n\n\n \nStan Brakhaage\, a wildly prolific experimental filmmaker in American avant-garde cinema and one of cinema’s principle architects of cinematic modernism\, made nearly 400 films and eight books of film criticism and theory between 1952-2003. Dozens of his films\, including “Anticipation of the Night\,” “Mothlight\,” “Dog Star Man\,” and “Scenes from Under Childhood” are acknowledged masterworks. The techniques he pioneered \, most notably rapid editing\, handheld camera\, lens flares and physical manipulation of the filmstrip\, came to define experimental cinema\, but they were also absorbed by advertising\, music videos\, and Hollywood.\nChallenging all taboos in his exploration of birth\, sex\, death\, and the search for God\,” he turned his camera on explicit lovemaking\, childbirth\, even autopsy. Many of his most famous works pursue the nature of vision itself and transcend the act of filming. His films seek to change the way we see. They encourage viewers to abandon traditional structure in favor of pure visual perception that is not reliant on naming what is seen. His goal was to create a more visceral  visual experience. He believed that “a stream of visual consciousness could be nothing less than the pathway of the soul.” His films are shot in highly sensual colors and utilize minimal soundtracks. \n \nCloudland Canyon  is an experimental rock/psychedelic rock band formed in 2002 by Kip Uhlhorn and Simon Wojan. Cloudland Canyon has released several critically acclaimed albums include Fin Eaves\, Lie in Light\, and An Arabesque. Their recent releases have been produced by Sonic Boom from Spacemen3/Spectrum. With each release\, Uhlhorn has pushed the envelope of experimental pop music\, collaborating with various musicians and producers to create intricate and other wordly compositions .Cloudland Canyon is a must-listen for anyone interested in the possibilities of experimental music in the 21 century. New members joining Uhlhorn in the band include Corbin Linebarier of General Labor\, Graham Burks of Loose Opinions\, and Alex Greene of Alex Greene and the Rolling Head Orchestra.

SUMMARY:Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me (1992)
DESCRIPTION:In the town of Twin Peaks\, everyone has their secrets—but especially Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee). In this prequel to his groundbreaking 1990s television series\, David Lynch resurrects the teenager found wrapped in plastic at the beginning of the show\, following her through the last week of her life and teasing out the enigmas that surround her murder. Homecoming queen by day and drug-addicted thrill seeker by night\, Laura leads a double life that pulls her deeper and deeper into horror as she pieces together the identity of the assailant who has been terrorizing her for years. Nightmarish in its vision of an innocent torn apart by unfathomable forces\, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me is nevertheless one of Lynch’s most humane films\, aching with compassion for its tortured heroine—a character as enthralling in life as she was in death. Directed by David Lynch. 135 minues. Rated R. \nCrosstown Theater\nThursday\, March 13\, 2025\nTickets: $5 at the door\nDoors at 6:30 p.m. | Films begin at 7:00 p.m. (sharp!) at Crosstown Theater

SUMMARY:50th Anniversary screening: One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest (1975)
DESCRIPTION:One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest tells the story of a free-spirited rogue who takes over the world of a mental hospital by a combination of chutzpah and ingenuity. The film is based on Ken Kensey’s best –selling novel published in 1962. Using the madhouse to symbolize the individual against the system\, the story gets its power from its unforgettable ensemble of characters and accretion of details that reveal what life is about inside a mental institution.

SUMMARY:Some Like It Hot (1959)
DESCRIPTION:Two down on their luck jazz musicians find themselves out of a job and on the run after the police raid the speakeasy they perform in and they inadvertently stumble upon a gang war. With no money and nowhere to hide\, a gig with Sweet Sue and her Society Syncopators at a Florida beach resort seems like the perfect getaway. There’s just one problem: the Syncopators are an all-female band\, and Joe and Jerry aren’t women – yet. \nArmed with some dodgy wigs and wobbly falsettos\, Joe and Jerry manage to join the Syncopators\, where they meet Sugar Kane: a hooch-swilling\, ukulele-playing knockout with a soft spot for bad boy saxophone players. Barely able to believe their good fortune\, things start to go off the rails for the pair when they begin to attract unwanted attention from lecherous millionaires and some familiar faces show up at their hotel for a gathering of the country’s most dangerous criminals. Directed by Billy Wilder. 122 minutes. N/R- This is a collaborative screening with the Orpheum Theatre Group.

SUMMARY:Kirk Kafé: Kirk Whalum with Kim Burrell - SOLD OUT
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents Kirk Kafé: Kirk Whalum with Kim Burrell in The Theater at Crosstown Arts \nThe Theater at Crosstown Arts\nSunday\, March 30\, 2025\nDoors open at 5:30 | Show begins at 6:00\nTickets: $59 (plus fees) \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \n\n\n\nJoin Grammy-winning saxophonist Kirk Whalum for Kafé Kirk\, an ongoing jazz series in Crosstown Theater featuring musical and spiritual collaborations with special guest artists.\n\n\nKIRK WHALUM\nSoulful\, passionate\, stirring…these are the words most often used to describe Kirk’s music. Forged from his Memphis\, Tennessee\, gospel roots and his 1980s initiation into the thriving Houston\, TX nightclub scene\, Kirk’s big\, rich tenor sound is unmistakably his. The ’80s were highlighted by Kirk’s stepping out of his blossoming sideman role and forming his own band. It was there that Kirk ultimately developed both his “voice” and songwriting in the crucible of the local club scene—especially at a rooftop club called Cody’s. It was also in Houston where jazz pianist Bob James “discovered” him and brought him on tour\, which led to five successful albums with Columbia Records\, including Cache\, Kirk’s first #1 album.\n\nKIM BURRELL\nHouston-based singer and pianist Kim Burrell\, known for her unique “jazz gospel” sound\, began her professional career singing with gospel greats like Rev. James Cleveland. Her solo recording career took off with releases on Tommy Boy Gospel\, and she’s since collaborated with artists ranging from R. Kelly and George Clinton to gospel stars like Shirley Caesar and Kirk Franklin\, and even secular icons like Stevie Wonder and Pharrell Williams (on the Hidden Figures soundtrack). A Grammy-nominated artist\, Kim continues to captivate audiences with her powerful voice and songwriting talent.

SUMMARY:Secret Mall Apartment (2025)
DESCRIPTION:Secret Mall Apartment (2025) In 2003\, eight Rhode Island artists created a secret apartment inside the busy Providence Place Mall and lived there for four years\, filming everything along the way. They snuck in furniture\, tapped into the mall’s electricity\, and even constructed a wall\, smuggling in more than two tons \nof cinder block. Far more than just a wild prank\, the secret apartment became a deeply meaningful place for its inhabitants. It was a personal expression of defiance against local gentrification\, a boundary-pushing work of public/private art\, a clubhouse in which large-scale charitable art projects were planned\, and\, finally\, a 750 square-foot “F you” to The Man. Featuring never-before-seen footage of the space and revealing the identities of all the participants for the first time\, SECRET MALL APARTMENT is more than just a bonkers true story. Director Jeremy Workman\, whose “Lily Topples The World” won the Grand Jury Prize at \nSXSW 2021\, delivers a poignant exploration of a group of artists who discovered their purpose within the most commercial and improbable places. Directed by Jeremy Workman. Rated N/R. 91 minutes. \n$5 at the door.

SUMMARY:Él (1953)
DESCRIPTION:June 26th–   Él is a Mexican film by Luis Buñuel based upon the novel by Mercedes Pinto originally released in the US as “This Strange Passion.” \n “What starts as a foot fetish aroused at a Holy Thursday service morphs into romantic obsession and pathological jealousy… Francisco Galván (Arturo de Córdova)\, a rich middle-aged bachelor\, becomes fixated on a proper young socialite (Delia Garcés). Under his relentless attention\, she marries Francisco\, who soon reveals himself to be a manipulative monster…. [isolating] her from her friends and family\, [and getting] her to doubt her own behavior\, her motives\, and even her sanity.” – Richard Brody\, The New Yorker \nLong unavailable due to obscure reasons of film rights\, this is perhaps the most underseen of Luis Buñuel’s great films made during his sojourn in Mexico. Here\, Buñuel is unsparing in his incisive and downright dark portrayal of a man\, outwardly normal\, who\, behind closed doors\, terrorizes his inamorata. But because of the place of women in society\, she has no place to turn for help. Bleak\, powerful\, and relevant. Directed by Luis Buñuel. Rated N/R 82 minutes.

This concert will feature legendary musicians Tom Braxton and Bobby Lyle.\n\n\n\nTOM BRAXTON\n\n\n\nJazz saxophonist Tom Braxton has garnered critical acclaim while thrilling audiences of all ages from coast to coast and abroad for over two decades. From Africa to Japan\, from New York to L.A.\, Braxton’s distinct\, melodic sound leaves audiences astounded\, clapping\, and on their feet screaming for more! \n\n\n\n\n\nBOBBY LYLE\n\n\n\nLegendary pianist/organist Bobby Lyle was deemed a musical wonder when he released his first album\, The Genie\, which exploded onto the Billboard charts and blew the minds of jazz enthusiasts everywhere. Since that debut\, Lyle has kept a high standard for 30-plus years\, and has successfully maintained a flourishing\, always-evolving career. Lyle’s unrivaled high standard of excellence entitles him to a place on the throne alongside other musical royalty\, making him a permanent fixture in the prodigious society of jazz.\n\n\nKIRK WHALUM\n\nSoulful\, passionate\, stirring…these are the words most often used to describe Kirk’s music. Forged from his Memphis\, Tennessee\, gospel roots and his 1980s initiation into the thriving Houston\, TX nightclub scene\, Kirk’s big\, rich tenor sound is unmistakably his. The ’80s were highlighted by Kirk’s stepping out of his blossoming sideman role and forming his own band. It was there that Kirk ultimately developed both his “voice” and songwriting in the crucible of the local club scene—especially at a rooftop club called Cody’s. It was also in Houston where jazz pianist Bob James “discovered” him and brought him on tour\, which led to five successful albums with Columbia Records\, including Cache\, Kirk’s first #1 album.

This concert will feature legendary musician Lindsey Webster. \n\n \nGet Tickets Now \nLindsey Webster:\nA charismatic and stunning artist\, Lindsey Webster has established herself as a rarity in the world of contemporary jazz. With a soulful\, authentic\, and effortless voice\, she has successfully shaken up the male- and instrumental-dominated genre\, carving a unique path of her own. Soultracks once declared\, “If Carole King and Sade had a kid\, she would be Lindsey Webster.”\n  \nA native of Woodstock\, NY\, Webster grew up surrounded by music\, listening to her “loving hippie parents'” collection of Jimi Hendrix\, Beatles\, and Elvis Costello LPs. She was first a cellist\, studying at the prestigious Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts\, before transitioning to vocals. She also has a surprising background in cellular and molecular biology and once worked as an EMT and firefighter. Webster’s music is deeply personal and inspired by her belief that “everything is energy\,” a philosophy that guides her to focus on her spirit and create music that is honest and authentic.\n\nIn 2016\, Webster made history with her original song “Fool Me Once\,” becoming the first vocalist to hit #1 on the Billboard Contemporary Jazz charts since Sade in 2010. She held the top spot for four weeks\, beating Sade’s three-week run. The winning combination of Webster and her long-time musical partner and former husband\, pianist Keith Slattery\, has resulted in two Billboard #1s and eight Top 10s on the Billboard charts. \nCrosstown Theater \nSunday\, September 28\, 6PM \nGet Tickets Now
