About

Natchez (2025, dir. Suzannah Herbert)
Natchez is a quiet, observant documentary that peers beneath the surface of a Southern town steeped in history, ritual, and contradiction. Rather than offering easy conclusions, the film patiently assembles moments of everyday life, revealing how memory, myth, and identity coexist and clash in subtle, often unspoken ways.
Director Suzannah Herbert approaches her subject with restraint and empathy, allowing tensions to emerge organically through image and conversation. The result is a film that feels less like an argument and more like a lived experience that is reflective, unsettling, and deeply human. Natchez invites viewers to sit with ambiguity and consider how the past continues to shape the present, especially in places where history is never fully at rest.
Special Guest: Stick around after the credits! Director Suzannah Herbert will be in attendance for a live Q&A immediately following the film.

Born in Los Angeles and raised in Tennessee, Lilly Hiatt (she/her) first earned buzz with a pair of early solo records before breaking out with 2017’s Trinity Lane. Produced by Shovels & Rope’s Michael Trent, the record helped Hiatt earn dates with the likes of John Prine, Margo Price, Drive-By Truckers, and Hiss Golden Messenger in addition to festival slots everywhere from Pilgrimage to Luck Reunion. NPR called the album “courageous and affecting,” while The Independent raved that it showcased Hiatt’s “gift for unpicking knotty lyrical themes in a personalised blend of countrified rock music,” and Rolling Stone hailed it as “the most cohesive and declarative statement of the young songwriter’s career.” Hiatt delivered on the album’s promise with her similarly well-received 2020 follow-up, Walking Proof, and, unable to tour due to the pandemic, quickly returned to the studio again for 2021’s Lately, which The Boston Herald said showcased her “knack for plainspoken, poetic lyrics” and Uncut proclaimed to be “captivating.”

Zappa (2020, dir. Alex Winter)
In collaboration with
More than a traditional music documentary, Zappa is an expansive portrait of one of the most fiercely independent and uncompromising artists of the 20th century. Drawing from an unprecedented archive of personal recordings, home movies, and concert footage, director Alex Winter allows Frank Zappa to tell his own story in his own voice, with minimal mediation.
The film captures Zappa not just as a musical innovator, but as a relentless critic of conformity, censorship, and cultural laziness. Composer, bandleader, satirist, and provocateur, Zappa’s work defied easy categorization, and so does this film. Whether you’re a longtime devotee or a curious newcomer, Zappa offers a rare look into the mind of an artist who refused to compromise and gladly paid the price for it.

About

“A unique folk duo that interweaves age-old music form and traditions with original modern compositions. A soundscape both familiar and new.”
Mama’s Broke is a powerful duo that deliver a compelling performance with heart and raw energy. Although highly influenced by their Canadian roots, Lisa and Amy are based out of nowhere and everywhere.
Their two strong voices blend to create haunting harmonies, while they artfully juggle fiddle, banjo, guitar and mandolin, and incorporate traditional dance and foot percussion into their performance. Their original–and often dark–compositions push the boundaries of tradition and the constraints of genre. Drawing from old-time, Quebecois, blues, punk, celtic, balkan and doom metal, they create a soundscape that is both familiar and new.

fosterfalls (they/them) crafts ethereal folk music that envelops the listener in a lush and fantastical world where self observation grows from lush vegetation. Their rich harmony arrangements and open-tuned guitar lines cocoon sharp and observant lyricism in reverberating warmth.

In their enchanting live performances Memphis-born bard fosterfalls guides the audience on a quest through a mythic forest of swelling harmonies and entrancing looper arrangements. Their lyrics plumb themes of the unconscious and ground into natural metaphor, inviting collective effervescence and shared introspection.

Crosstown Arts Film Series: Macbeth 1971
2026-02-05 19:00 - 21:00 | Crosstown Theater, 1350 Concourse Ave., Memphis, TN, 38104, United States
February 5, 2026
Macbeth (1971, dir. Roman Polanski)
Roman Polanski’s Macbeth is one of the most brutal and unflinching adaptations of Shakespeare’s tragedy ever put to film. Made in the shadow of personal trauma, the film strips away romanticism and presents a raw, blood-soaked vision of ambition, paranoia, and moral collapse. This is a medieval world defined by mud, steel, and violence, where power is seized through cruelty and maintained through fear.
Polanski emphasizes the physical reality of the play’s horrors, rendering the supernatural elements as ominous rather than theatrical, and grounding the story in an atmosphere of relentless dread. Jon Finch’s Macbeth is volatile and increasingly unhinged, while Francesca Annis’s Lady Macbeth radiates cold resolve beneath a fragile surface. The result is a haunting, deeply unsettling interpretation that treats Macbeth not as elevated literature, but as a savage study of how unchecked ambition corrodes the human soul.

Uber-versatile, musician’s musician Will Kimbrough (he/him) has enjoyed a long and winding career. He’s released nine albums while fronting Will and the Bushmen, The Bis-Quits, Willie Sugarcapps, and Daddy.
Kimbrough’s abundant production credits include Shemekia Copeland’s last three albums, America’s Child, Uncivil War, and Done Come Too Far, which garnered two Grammy nominations and multiple wins at the Blues Music and Living Blues Awards.
As a much in-demand guitarist, Will’s played on countless and wide-ranging recording sessions, seen the world from a stage on multiple tours with Rodney Crowell and Emmylou Harris, and returned to his Nashville home with an Americana Music Association Instrumentalist of the Year award in hand.
And Kimbrough’s songs and/or session work have appeared on every Jimmy Buffett studio album released in the last twenty years, from License to Chill’s “Piece of Work” to the Paul McCartney-praised and the iTunes #1, “Bubbles Up,” on the upcoming Equal Strain on All Parts.
But this special tribute show will honor Will’s relationship with one artist in particular: his dear friend and bandmate Todd Snider. We’re grateful for the chance to share Todd’s music and celebrate his soul in the city that always welcomed him back.

Join us for an artist talk with Brantley Ellzey, an opportunity to meet the artist and engage directly with a practice that moves through the galleries and screening room as a single, unfolding gesture. Across film, installation, and material studies, Ellzey traces the spiral as a quiet force gathering motion, memory, and meaning. Rolling, layering, reflecting, repeating: these acts become rituals of attention, linking body to structure, structure to landscape, and the intimate to the planetary. This conversation invites you into a world shaped by rhythm, patience, and the unseen patterns that continue to turn beneath the surface of things.

Crosstown Arts Film Series: All is Lost

All Is Lost (2013, dir. J.C. Chandor)
Nearly wordless and stripped to its bare essentials, All Is Lost is a masterclass in cinematic restraint. Robert Redford delivers one of the most physically and emotionally demanding performances of his career as a lone sailor battling a relentless cascade of failures after his yacht is damaged in the open Indian Ocean. With almost no dialogue and no backstory to lean on, the film forces the audience into an intimate confrontation with vulnerability, perseverance, and mortality.
Director J.C. Chandor turns the vastness of the sea into both setting and antagonist, crafting a tense, immersive experience where every small decision carries life-or-death weight. All Is Lost is not just a survival story, but a quiet meditation on aging, isolation, and what remains when modern comforts and distractions are stripped away. Seeing it on the big screen heightens its elemental power and serves as a reminder of cinema’s ability to communicate through image, sound, and human presence alone.
