SUMMARY:Brandon Wint: Moving For Love at VIFF Centre
DESCRIPTION:Vancouver-based poet and filmmaker Brandon Wint presents two deeply-personal short films\, each of which is propelled by poetry and jazz. In Moving For Love Brandon explores for the first time the details of his family’s migration from the Caribbean to Canada in the early 1970s. With help from his mother and grandmother\, Brandon probes the social and familial forces that prompted his family to make the difficult journeys from Barbados and Jamaica. Brandon uses these histories as a portal through which to consider his own relationships to love\, sacrifice and new beginnings\, as a poet who has sought love and belonging in Toronto\, Ottawa\, Edmonton and now Vancouver. The film is scored by Vancouver jazz luminaries Feven Kidane\, Yoro Noukoussi\, and Quincy Mayes. \nThe second short film\, Backbone is a vulnerable memoir exploring how cerebral palsy\, the visible disability with which Brandon lives\, complicates the notion and practical realities of health and self-care. The film maps Brandon’s journey toward forgiving himself\, and his family\, for the ways that his complex physicality made accessing care difficult\, bewildering and sometimes painful. This film\, too\, is propelled by a dynamic musical score which features contributions from Edmonton’s Brian Raine\, Montreal’s Theo Abellard\, and Vancouver’s Anjalica Solomon. Both films use jazz as a means of prompting vulnerability and spiritual fortitude. \nThe night will begin with a musical performance by Feven Kidane\, Yoro Noukoussi\, Quincy Mayes and Brandon Wint. As poet and music critic Harmony Holiday once said “music is important because it governs the boundaries of thought that exceed language.” \nWe hope that this evening of film\, poetry and music will be beyond words. \n6:30 pm: Intros\, live music and poetry\n7:30 pm: Intermission\n7:50 pm: Films and Q&A

SUMMARY:James Danderfer Sextet: A Tribute to Artie Shaw at VIFF Centre
DESCRIPTION:One of the most popular and intriguing big band leaders of the Swing era\, Artie Shaw took jazz clarinet to a new level of artistry and celebrity. On occasion\, Shaw would tour with a smaller group\, his Gramercy Five\, which became one of the fixtures of small group swing. Come and enjoy a rare performance of this melodic and jubilant music featuring James Danderfer clarinet\, Bill Coon guitar\, Sharon Minemoto piano\, Max Huberdeau vibraphone\, Dan Howard bass and Joe Poole drums\, to be followed by a screening of Artie Shaw: Time Is All You’ve Got. \nArtie Shaw: Time Is All You’ve Got (1985\, 115 min)\nAnchored by an incisive interview with its then 72-year-old subject\, Artie Shaw: Time is All You’ve Got looks back on the five-decade career of “King of the Clarinet” Artie Shaw (1910-2004)\, one of the most popular stars of the 1930s and ’40s Swing era. Brigitte Berman’s film won the Academy Award for Best Documentary in 1985\, and is screening in a new 4K restoration. Featuring: Artie Shaw\, Polly Haynes\, John Wexley\, Lee Castle\, John Best\, Helen Forrest\, Buddy Rich\, Mel Tormé. \nIn an era of separate white and Black bands\, Shaw broke the color barrier by hiring legendary African American musicians like Billie Holiday\, Hot Lips Page and Roy Eldridge for his bands. Shaw’s restlessness and intellectual curiosity (he’d author four books of fiction and non-fiction) led him to shun celebrity and retire from show business in the late 1940s\, with only occasional comebacks after. Known also as a ladies’ man\, Shaw’s eight wives included actresses Ava Gardner\, Lana Turner\, Doris Dowling\, Evelyn Keyes\, and novelist Kathleen Winsor\, author of the notoriously racy bestseller Forever Amber.
