Beyond the Call - 35mm
Discussion with Filmmaker Adrian Belic Present
"Fashioning themselves as modern-day knights devoted to “high adventure” where few others would ever go, the three men known collectively as Knightsbridge International deftly avoid red tape as they bring aid to needy people in political hot zones like Afghanistan and Rwanda during the genocide. Adrian Belic’s straightforward film shows the men in action and allows them to tell—in their salty, no-B.S. way—their own stories of how and why they do what they do." Groucho Reviews

Filmlover's Party featuring
Machine 475
Your average electronica band doesn't incorporate bluegrass guitar picking and fiddle playing into its synthesized quirks. But Machine 475 isn't your average electronica band, and "Blue Kentucky Skies" isn't your average bluegrass tune. On its debut album "None of This is Real" and its current EP, "Love is All Around," the band brings together disparate acoustic and electronic sounds. BOSTON GLOBE

Mamadou!
Salem Film Fest Film Bash
Led by the irresistible energy of master West African rhythm guitarist and drummer Mamadou Diop, MAMADOU presents a world-class cultural experience. The sound is a guitar and drum led groove that includes the rhythms of high-life, juju, rumba, samba, salsa, and reggae blended with authentic Senegalese ethnic rhythms. Though MAMADOU's songs are sung in several languages, the language of music is universal and every audience they perform for instantly understands and reacts with joyous dance.
