The Screen Presents:

Oct. 11- 17

Music Majors, I have two words for you: Muscle Shoals!

The true story of the small town with a big sound credits Tennessee’s spiritual “Singing River” as the birthplace of America’s most celebrated music. From the FAME Studios of Rick Hall, blacks and whites work together in the heat of Alabama’s racial hostility to create what is called the “Muscle Shoals sound.” To attest to Shoal’s reputation are artists Greg Allman, Bono, Clarence Carter, Mick Jagger, Etta James, Alicia Keys, Keith Richards, and Percy Sledge. In a documentary “propelled by gorgeous music and rich anecdotes,” David Gritten of The Telegraph calls the story of Shoals “joyous, uplifting and as funky as the music at its heart.” Opens this Friday.

Intro with co-producer Raji Mandelkorn opening night, Friday Oct. 11, 7pm.

Saturday, Oct. 12 7pm, The Jewish Film Festival presents Defiant Requiem

From late 1943 to June of 1944 at the Terezín Concentration Camp, imprisoned Czech conductor Rafael Schächter led a chorus of his fellow Jewish prisoners — most of them doomed to the gas chambers at Auschwitz — in 16 performances of Verdi’s Requiem, including once before the very Nazis who had condemned them to death. With only a single musical score, this group of 150 fated Jewish prisoners would learn and sing Verdi’s momentous work. Over 60 years later Conductor Murry Sidlin, accompanied by a handful of survivors, returned to Terezin to conduct a memorial concert of the Requiem.

The story of Terezín (aka Theresienstadt), the Requiem, and of Conductor Murry Sidlin’s return to conduct a memorial concert is eloquently told in director Doug Shultz’s powerful new documentary Defiant Requiem. One of the most complex and demanding of chorale works, Verdi’s 1874 work was originally intended as a musical rendition of the Catholic funeral mass. Rafael Schächter took Verdi’s music and transformed it into a universal statement, one proclaiming the prisoners’ unbroken spirit and warning of God’s coming wrath against their Nazi captors. The Santa Fe theatrical premiere also marks Verdi’s bi-centennial. Verdi was born on October 10, 1813.

Featuring Q/A with conductor Murry.

Thursday, Oct. 17 7pm, Fifth Annual Santa Fe Independent Film Festival Presents Pastriology

Pastriology (as well as the 54-minute television version, Let Them Eat Cake), takes a global view of the perils and pleasures of pastry.  How can something that can make you sick and even kill you be such a sweet expression of cultural values and love?  Pastry is a luxury for some, a fast substitute for meals for others, and in today’s economy, it’s a comfort food for more and more people at a loss.  Pastriology addresses the planetary emergency of too little food, while seducing the viewer with the lavish traditions and beauty of pastry- and cake-making that call us back to the roots of our childhood.

Featuring Q/A with Filmmakers.

Advanced tickets available at Tickets Santa Fe.
