Shoot & Splice: For The Love of Cinema with Rashna Richards
Monthly filmmaking forum presented by Indie Memphis and Crosstown Arts.
Rashna Richards will discuss what it means to teach Film and Media Studies in the twenty-first century. The first part of her talk will be based on her recent co-edited collection, For the Love of Cinema: Teaching Our Passion in and Outside the Classroom, which offers multiple ways to think about the relationship between the love of cinema and teaching. In the second half, she will expand this discussion by offering examples of her own teaching at Rhodes College and speaking more broadly about the role of film education.
Cellular Structure

Anti-Twilight Dark Band
An evening of ambient improvisation with Jimmy Crosthwait and Greg Faiers.
Anti-Twilight Dark Band: The intersection of ambient music, jazz and improvisation.
The Anti-Twilight Dark Band features Jimmy Crosthwait on zen chimes and Greg Faiers playing heavily processed guitar. The chimes are a byproduct of Crosthwait’s metal art work. He uses sticks (various metal and wooden implements) to create a musical percussive effect. Jimmy’s zen chimes have a sound all their own but do suggest southeast Asian and African influences.
