What happens after the festival run of a film? To answer this and more, meet the founders of Dedza Films, a new distribution initiative dedicated to "curating and facilitating the next wave of filmmakers with a focus on underrepresented communities and early works of emerging storytellers." They launched on June 11 with the anthology of short films, "Who Will Start the Fire" (currently available in the Indie Memphis virtual cinema). In this virtual Shoot & Splice forum, Aaron Hunt and Kate Gondwe will describe what the distribution world is like, why they started Dedza, and how an independent filmmaker might be able to find distribution for a feature or short film. |

Crosstown Arts presents Memphis garage rockers Reigning Sound at Crosstown Theater. Founded by Memphis blues-punk legend Greg Cartwright -- a former member of the Oblivians, the Compulsive Gamblers, and '68 Comeback -- Reigning Sound fuse the hot-wired energy of garage rock with the deep emotional resonance of classic soul music in a manner that suggests a cross between the early Rolling Stones and the Sonics. |

Crosstown Arts is excited to kick off its post-pandemic return to the Crosstown Arthouse Film Series with a screening of the 1930 silent film Hell-Bound Train with musical accompaniment by Bible & Tire recording artist Elizabeth King. She'll be joined by Will Sexton (guitar), Matt Ross-Spang (guitar), and Will McCarley (percussion). Hell-Bound Train was shot by a pair of self-taught Christian evangelists, James and Eloyce Gist, on 16 mm film. The Gists toured Black churches to show the film, paired with a sermon. Elizabeth King is a Memphis-based gospel singer who, after leaving music for some time to raise a family, has returned at 77 years young to release the extremely well-reviewed, gospel masterpiece Living in the Last Days. Crosstown Arts is thrilled to pair this early example of Black filmmaking with the incomparable voice of Elizabeth King. |
