Songs of a Sorrowful Man color, 35 minutes
A follow-up to the award-winning film Singing Pictures (2006), Songs of a Sorrowful Man continues to depict the dreams and influences of Dukhushyam, a charismatic painter, composer, singer, poet, and mystic, who has encouraged women to take up the traditional craft of scroll painting and musical composition, traditionally pursued almost exclusively by men in rural West Bengal.
Fully Awake: Black Mountain College color, 60 minutes
Hidden in the mountains of Western North Carolina, Black Mountain College (1933 - 1957) was an influential experiment in education that inspired and influenced many of America’s most important twentieth-century artists. Through probing the legacy of the experimental school, Fully Awake points to a progressive pedagogical model that can continue to inspire students today.
