SUMMARY:Book Release: Memphis Noir
DESCRIPTION:Akashic Books continues its groundbreaking series of original noir anthologies\, launched in 2004 with Brooklyn Noir. Each story is set in a distinct neighborhood or location within the city of the book. \nFeaturing brand-new stories by: Richard J. Alley\, David Wesley Williams\, Dwight Fryer\, Jamey Hatley\, Adam Shaw\, Penny Register-Shaw\, Kaye George\, Arthur Flowers\, Suzanne Berube Rorhus\, Ehi Ike\, Lee Martin\, Stephen Clements\, Cary Holladay\, John Bensko\, Sheree Renée Thomas\, and Troy L. Wiggins. \nFrom the introduction by Laureen P. Cantwell & Leonard Gill: \n“A city equal parts darkness and hope. A scarred city. An often violent one. But a resilient city too. \nThat’s our Memphis. \nLike many cities\, we have a namesake—in Egypt\, Men-nefer became Menfe became Memphis\, enduring and beautiful\, on the banks of the Nile. Centuries later\, another continent\, another people\, another river: Memphis\, Tennessee\, the soul of the Mississippi Delta\, was formed. We are a place born of history\, inhabited as much by memory as by the living—the past and present inextricably and inescapably linked . . . . Memphis is marvels and misfits—two-faced and unabashedly so.   \nWe are Memphis\, and this is our noir.”

SUMMARY:Another Life
DESCRIPTION:OPENING RECEPTION: FRIDAY\, OCTOBER 30\, 6-9 pm\nFeaturing work by Andrea Morales\, Yasmine Omari\, Louis “Ziggy” Tucker\,  Stephanie Wexler\, and a collaboration by Carla Worth & Andrew Gafford. \n“Life and death are mirrors. To talk about one is to talk about the other\, despite the distance in the language between them: life with its fragility\, versus death and its finality. \n\nWe choose to remember because we want to feel who we loved that came and passed before us. It’s for our own benefit to do so. We keep the dead alive in our dreams and photographs. We see them where we used to live\, we see them where they were last seen. We see them as we last saw them. Our circles grow closer\, tighter and are sometimes preserved and strengthened by death. \nWhy we come to life\, how we leave at death\, how we are remembered: our questions shape the narrative of the ultimate. We turn the questions into rituals. Chief among them is our memory. \nIt’s a comfort that the world does not empty of people. We welcome the ghosts as evidence of life. This show collects works that examine that memory through photography\, video and mixed media by a group of local artists.” – Andrea Morales \n\nCo-curated by Andrea Morales in collaboration with Crosstown Arts \nImage:\nINDIANOLA\, MS – May 29\, 2015: at the public viewing for B.B. King at the B.B. King Museum and Delta Interpretive Center on Friday morning.\nCredit: Andrea Morales for The New York Times

SUMMARY:Visiting Writer Tom Piazza
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our latest collaboration with The Booksellers at Laurelwood as we welcome Tom Piazza to Memphis to read from and sign his new novel\, A FREE STATE. Tom Piazza is the author of ten books\, including the novel City Of Refuge\, which won the Willie Morris Award for Southern Fiction\, and the post-Katrina classic Why New Orleans Matters. Other works include Devil Sent The Rain\, a collection of his essays and journalism\, the Faulkner Society Award-winning novel My Cold War\, and the short-story collection Blues and Trouble\, which won the James Michener Award for Fiction. Tom also wrote for the HBO drama series Treme. \nNo less a literary critic than Bob Dylan has said\, “Tom Piazza’s writing pulsates with nervous electrical tension – reveals the emotions that we can’t define.” A well known writer on American music as well\, Tom won a Grammy Award for his album notes to Martin Scorsese Presents The Blues: A Musical Journey and is a three-time winner of the ASCAP-Deems Taylor Award for Music Writing. His writing has appeared in The New York Times\, The Atlantic\, Bookforum\, The Oxford American\, Columbia Journalism Review\, and many other periodicals. A graduate of the Iowa Writers’ Workshop\, he lives in New Orleans.\n \n\nA FREE STATE \nThe year is 1855. Blackface minstrelsy is the most popular form of entertainment in a nation about to be torn apart by the battle over slavery. Henry Sims\, a fugitive slave and a brilliant musician\, has escaped to Philadelphia\, where he earns money living by his wits and performing on the street. He is befriended by James Douglass\, leader of a popular minstrel troupe struggling to compete with dozens of similar ensembles\, who imagines that Henry’s skill and magnetism might restore his troupe’s sagging fortunes. \nThe problem is that black and white performers are not allowed to appear together onstage. Together\, the two concoct a masquerade to protect Henry’s identity\, and Henry creates a sensation in his first appearances with the troupe. Yet even as their plan begins to reverse the troupe’s decline\, a brutal slave hunter named Tull Burton has been employed by Henry’s former master to track down the runaway and retrieve him\, by any means necessary. \nBursting with narrative tension and unforgettable characters\, shot through with unexpected turns and insight\, A FREE STATE is a thrilling reimagining of the American story by a novelist at the height of his powers. \n

Each year the Festival receives more than 8\,000 short film submissions\, selecting 60-80 to show. The Festival programs a 90-minute collection of shorts from its most recent Festival to go on a theatrical tour to independent art houses in more than 50 cities nationwide. It is one of very few theatrical releases of short films in America. \nFueled by artistic expression and limited only by their runtime\, short films transcend traditional storytelling. They are a significant and popular way artists can connect with audiences. From documentary to animation\, narrative to experimental\, the abbreviated form is no longer just for the novice. Shorts have and will continue to be an important part of cinema\, storytelling\, and culture. The Festival has always treated short films with the highest regard and gives a home to new (and old) projects for audiences to discover and celebrate. \nThe Festival’s Short Film Program has long been established as a place to discover talented directors\, such as past alums Wes Anderson\, Todd Haynes\, Nicole Holofcener\, Spike Jonze\, Paul Thomas Anderson\, Lynne Ramsay\, David O. Russell\, Trey Parker and Matt Stone\, Lake Bell\, Jay and Mark Duplass\, Alexander Payne\, Debra Granik\, Andrea Arnold\, and many others. \nRecent short film discoveries at the Festival include Golden Globe Award winner Jill Soloway (Transparent) and Academy Award nominee Damien Chazelle (Whiplash). \nThe Festival is the centerpiece of the year-round public programs for the nonprofit Institute\, which also hosts 24 residency labs and grants more than $2.5 million to independent artists each year. \n\n\n\n\n\n \n
