September 16th – Fire Music (2021, 87 minutes). Although the free jazz movement of the 1960s and ‘70s was much maligned in some jazz circles, its pioneers – brilliant talents like Ornette Coleman, Cecil Taylor, Sun Ra, Albert Ayler, and John Coltrane – are today acknowledged as central to the evolution of jazz as America’s most innovative art form. Fire Music showcases the architects of a movement whose radical brand of improvisation pushed harmonic and rhythmic boundaries.
October 7th – Darkon (2006, 89 minutes). The 2006 cult-hit documentary DARKON covers an epic war raging through the realm of Darkon (an American LARP). Skip Lipman, a suburban stay-at-home dad leads his rebel army in a monumental quest to topple a mighty empire and lead the Realm to new era of liberty and glory. A beloved adventure in the quirky imaginations of suburban Americans, DARKON investigates the LARPers lives in the game and out of the game offering insight into our complex relationship with escapism, war, fantasy and reality.
November 4th – River (2021, 74 minutes) An exploration of the timeless relationship between human civilization and Earth’s rivers. Spanning six continents, this visual and musical tour-de-force is by turns celebratory, cautionary, and ultimately hopeful that we are beginning to understand rivers in all their complexity and fragility. Narrated by Oscar nominee Willem Dafoe. With music by the Australian Chamber Orchestra and Radiohead.
