EVENT PREVIEWS

In the twentieth century, there lived a brilliant polymath who wandered the world, a vagabond of immense intellect who taught the likes of Emmanuel Levinas and Elie Wiesel. He was a master of many studies, from theology and philosophy to mathematics and the sciences. His name, while debated among those who know of his existence, is unknown to the world; he known only as Mr. Shoshani. While working on a different film, Director Michael Grynszpan happened to learn of this enigma of a man. As interest turns into obsession, Gryszpan spends a decade of his life trying to unravel the mystery of Shoshani’s life in The Shoshani Riddle.

Sun Ra: Do The Impossible, a feature length documentary by Christine Turner, is a cosmic journey into the life and work of the visionary jazz musician, composer and poet, Sun Ra. Poet, philosopher, Egyptologist, bandleader. Jazz visionary Sun Ra was all of these—and more. With his ever-evolving band the Sun Ra Arkestra, he produced more than 200 albums, stretching the boundaries of free-form jazz while weaving ancient Egypt, interstellar metaphors, and scientific musings into a singular musical and spiritual vision of Afrofuturism that continues to reverberate across generations. Director Christine Turner takes us on an illuminating journey through the life of this multi-faceted artist, gracefully balancing recollections from the Arkestra’s still-devout band members and dancers with insightful interviews from music scholars, and unforgettable film and performance footage of Sun Ra himself. The result is a portrait—informative, inspiring, and mind-bending—of a man whose audacious vision, otherworldly imagination, and uncompromising artistry helped shape not only the sound of jazz, but the cultural landscape of the 20th century and beyond.
