Still Bill
Seattle Premiere Sponsored by KBCS 91.3FM and Jive Time Records
Mar 31
(Alex Vlack and Damani Baker, USA, 2009, Beta-SP, 82 min)
Soul music legend Bill Withers was an undersized, asthmatic, stuttering child from the small town of Slab Fork, West Virginia. It wasn’t until his mid-30s that the instant success of his song “Ain’t No Sunshine” would catapult the unlikely pop star into fame. This intimate documentary highlights his career, catches up with the reclusive, low-key singer at home and captures his first musical endeavors in decades.

Join us for the DVD release of this documentary about The Mountain Goats frontman John Darnielle as he returns to Pomona College—where he performed Bach minuets as an 8-year-old piano student—in The Life Of The World To Come, playing last year's Bible-based concept record of the same name in solo and duet performances.
Soundtrack For A Revolution
Apr 30 - May 05
(Bill Guttentag, Dan Sturman, USA, 2009, Digi-Beta, 82 min)
Soundtrack For A Revolution is a fascinating chronicle of the protest songs that inspired American civil rights activists during the 1950s and 60s. Music was crucial in helping protesters as they faced down brutal aggression with non-violence, and the energy of the freedom songs, many of which evolved from slave chants and the black church, swept people up and encouraged them to carry on.
