MEMPHIS BI-CENTENNIAL BOOGIE WITH BLUESHIFT ENSEMBLE (FOUND FOOTAGE, 2019)

In celebration of the 200th anniversary of the City of Memphis, Memphis Bi-Centennial Boogie is an introspective visual meditation on the history of the City featuring a live, improvised score created and performed by the innovative Blueshift chamber ensemble. The Blueshift Ensemble features several accomplished Memphis musicians, including Director Jenny Davis (flute) and Jonathan Kirkscey (cello). Jonathan is an accomplished film composer, whose credits include acclaimed documentaries Best of Enemies: Buckley vs. Vidal and Won’t You Be My Neighbor. The found film footage is used with the kind permission of the Memphis Public Library & Information Center and the personal collections of several Memphians.
