GET YOUR TICKETS NOW On March 27, friend of IndieCollect Larry Clark's beautiful 1977 film "Passing Through" will be screening at the Whitney Museum of American Art alongside Cauleen Smith's experimental short film "Chronicles of a Lying Spirit (by Kelly Gabron)" As Jan-Christopher Horak writes of PASSING THROUGH:... 'Eddie Warmack, an African American jazz musician, is released from prison for the killing of a white gangster. Not willing to play for the mobsters who control the music industry, including clubs and recording studios, Warmack searches for his mentor and grandfather, the legendary jazz musician Poppa Harris. Director Larry Clark theorizes that jazz is one of the purest expressions of African American culture, embodying the struggles of generations of Blacks going back to slavery times, but now hijacked by a white culture that brutally exploits jazz musicians for profit. The opening seven-minute credit sequence is accordingly an homage to jazz and jazz musicians, privileging the raw energy of the music...' The screening of both films will be followed by a talk between Cauleen and film scholar Michael Boyce Gillespie. DON'T MISS IT! https://whitney.org//screening-cauleen-smith-michael-gille
