SUMMARY:DIED YOUNG STAYED PRETTY
DESCRIPTION:FREE SCREENING! at The Walker Art Center! tickets available a
 t the Bazinet Garden Lobby desk from 6 pm\n\n Died Young\, Stayed Pretty
   is a candid look at the underground poster culture in North America. T
 his unique documentary examines the creative spirit that drives these in
 die graphic artists. They pick through the dregs of America’s schizophre
 nic culture and piece them back together. What you end up with is a cari
 cature of the black and bloated heart that pulses greed through the US e
 conomy. The artists push further into the pulp to grab the attention of 
 passersby\, plastering art that’s both vulgar and intensely visceral ont
 o the gnarled surfaces of the urban landscape. The film gives us intimat
 e look at some of the giants of this modern subculture. Outside of their
  own circle\, they’re virtually unknown. But within their ranks they mak
 e up an army of bareknuckle brawlers\, publicly arguing the aesthetic me
 rits of octopus imagery and hairy 70s porn stars. They’ve created their 
 own visual language for describing the spotty underbelly of western civi
 lization and they're not shy about throwing it in the face of polite soc
 iety.  \n\nAlong the way\, they manage to create posters that are striki
 ngly obscene\, unflinchingly blasphemous and often quite beautiful. Yagh
 oobian shows these artists for what they are: the vivisectionists of Ame
 rica’s morbidly obese consumer culture.

SUMMARY:PUNCHING THE CLOWN
DESCRIPTION:  Star Henry Phillips Present!  \n\nHenry Phillips\, a road-w
 eary American comedian and troubadour\, is down on his luck playing hell
  gigs in the desert. He moves to L.A. thinking he’s got nothing more to 
 lose. It turns out he was mistaken: his reputation and his music are soo
 n at stake\, yet if he plays his cards right\, it could all be grist for
  his darkly humorous songs.  Henry Phillips\, a modern day troubadour\, 
 is living out of his car on a perpetual tour of small time comedy and mu
 sic clubs around the country. After a gig gone terribly wrong in Arizona
 \, he decides to push on through to LA and crash on his brother Matt's c
 ouch. \n \nIn LA\, he needs to find work fast. Matt\, himself a struggli
 ng actor who barely makes ends meet dressing up as Batman for children’s
  birthday parties\, hooks Henry up with his sweet\, eager but inept mana
 ger\, Ellen. The first gig Ellen gets Henry is an open mic night at the 
 Espresso Yourself Café. No money in it\, not the best place for exposure
  either. It’s not looking good\, though Henry does a great show\, and as
  an added bonus meets the cool barista\, Becca. But the overeducated\, s
 ardonic songsmith turns into a stammering weirdo anytime an attractive y
 oung woman comes within chatting distance\, so Becca doesn’t know what t
 o think of Henry.  At least Ellen still believes in Henry\, and she’s go
 t ideas. She gets Henry to play at a swanky soiree in the Hollywood Hill
 s.  But Ellen’s guerilla booking tactics apparently did not include clea
 ring Henry’s performance with the host\, who shuts Henry down before he 
 has a chance to sing a whole song.  Just as Henry thinks his luck is run
 ning out\,  he gets an unexpected break through a very fortuitous set of
  circumstances involving an inappropriately used skin product and a chan
 ce encounter with a pop star. As a result\, Fabian Mann\, a cocky young 
 A&R executive for an indie record label\, X-Company Records\, is lead to
  believe Henry has friends in high places. Fabian offers Henry a record 
 deal. And back at the Espresso Yourself Café\, Joel\, the friendly and p
 aternal owner\, gives Henry some hints on how to talk to Becca without m
 aking an ass of himself. \n\nThings should be looking up for Henry\, but
  it all backfires in flash. Henry only gets $2\,500 instead of the $50\,
 000 dollars Fabian had promised. Then his brother tells him he is finall
 y giving up on his Hollywood dream\, so Henry’s lost his crash pad. Furt
 her woes ensue when his misguided approach to Becca is so fundamentally 
 misconstrued that she quits her job on the spot\, insulting Henry on the
  way out. Last\, but definitely not least\, a bizarre rumor is spreading
  about Henry\, who finds that there is such a thing as bad P.R.\, as X-C
 ompany Records shelves his CD before even recording it\, although as per
  the contract Henry signed with them\, they retain the rights to his mus
 ic. \n\nHenry’s lost everything he came to LA to find\, but perhaps a tr
 oubadour’s real home is on the road. Six months later\, Becca is driving
  through an Oregon town on her way to a new job and notices Henry's name
   misspelled on the marquee of a local dive. She goes in. He’s barely ma
 king ends meet but he’s performing. He’s finally happy  or at least\, wo
 rking on it. And he’s got new songs. The lyrics seem strangely inspired 
 by the recent experiences. Becca stays for the show.

SUMMARY:ICONS AMONG US: JAZZ IN THE PRESENT TENSE
DESCRIPTION:By combing rare archival stills\, interviews with 75 jazz art
 ists and live recordings culled from 25 hours of concerts\,  Icons Among
  Us  is a dynamic and engaging document of many of the greatest jazz mus
 icians of today.  Capturing the spontaneity of performers who have an in
 timate knowledge of their instruments and a full knowledge of jazz histo
 ry\, the movie (created from four episodes of a cable and satellite TV s
 eries) shows how something like the same riff can become something compl
 etely different in the hands of different musicians.  The dialogue betwe
 en older and younger generations of music takes place with words\, but a
 lso with music.   \n\nAnyone from diehard fans to interested novices and
  those interested in the origins of creativity will find something to ta
 ke home with them.  Like the music itself\,  Icons Among Us \, is a fres
 h and constantly surprising\, with a spirit and energy that innovates ev
 en as it recycles.   Icons Among Us \, features unique interviews and ex
 clusive performances from Terence Blanchard\, Medeski\, Martin & Wood\, 
 the Bad Plus (with Happy Apple drummer\, Dave King)\, Ravi Coltrane\, Di
 rty Dozen Brass Band and many others.

SUMMARY:UNTIL THE LIGHT TAKES US
DESCRIPTION: Until The Light Takes Us  tells the story of black metal.  P
 art music scene and part cultural uprising\, black metal rose to worldwi
 de notoriety in the mid nineties when a rash of suicides\, murders\, and
  church burnings accompanied the explosive artistic growth and output of
  a music scene that would forever redefine what heavy metal is and what 
 it stands for to other musicians\, artists and music fans world-wide.   
 Until The Light Takes Us  goes behind the highly sensationalized media r
 eports of "Satanists running amok in Europe" to examine the complex and 
 largely misunderstood principles and beliefs that led to this rebellion 
 against both Christianity and modern culture.  \n\nTo capture this on fi
 lm\, directors Aaron Aites and Audrey Ewell moved to Norway and lived wi
 th the musicians for several years\, building relationships that allowed
  them to create a surprisingly intimate portrait of this violent and mis
 understood movement.  The result is a poignant\, moving story that’s as 
 much about the idea that reality is composed of whatever the most people
  believe\, regardless of what’s actually true\, as it is about a music s
 cene that blazed a path of murder and arson across the northern sky. Thi
 s film is not rated but contains graphic violence that may not be suitab
 le for anyone under 17.

SUMMARY:IN SEARCH OF BEETHOVEN
DESCRIPTION:From acclaimed director\, Phil Grabsky\, director of the inte
 rnational documentary sensation of 2006\,  In Search of Mozart \, now br
 ings his latest documentary\,  In Search of Beethoven \, which delves in
 to the life and work of Ludwig van Beethoven.  The genius of Grabsky’s m
 ethod lies in meticulously reconstructing the chronology of Beethoven’s 
 life revealing new insights though his biography and letters in tandem w
 ith the chronology of his poetic music.  Beethoven was a heroic\, tormen
 ted man battling to overcome his tragic fate\, struck down by deafness\,
  and searched for his 'immortal beloved' but remained unmarried.  Grabsk
 y documents each piece of music as he travelled across Europe and North 
 America to interview historians and musicians between rehearsals and per
 formances.  One highlight includes exclusive footage of Claudio Abbado’s
  critically acclaimed performance of Beethoven’s opera\, Fidelio.  More 
 than 55 performances and interviews by the world’s leading musicians and
  conductors\, including Gianandrea Noseda\, Sir Roger Norrington\, Ricca
 rdo Chailly\, and Vadim Repin\, among others\, contribute to a breathtak
 ingly intimate interpretation of the man and his music.

SUMMARY:WE LIVE IN PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION: Director Ondi Timoner Present!  \n\nTen years in the making 
 and culled from 5000 hours of footage\,  We Live in Public  reveals the 
 effect the web is having on our society\, as seen through the eyes of “t
 he greatest Internet pioneer you’ve never heard of”\, artist\, futurist 
 and visionary Josh Harris.  Award-winning director Ondi Timoner ( DIG!  
 which also won the Sundance Grand Jury Prize in 2004\, also screening in
  Sound Unseen\, this year) documented his tumultuous life for more than 
 a decade to create a riveting\, cautionary tale of what to expect as the
  virtual world inevitably takes control of our lives. \n\nHarris\, often
  called the “Warhol of the Web”\, founded Pseudo.com\, the first Interne
 t television network during the infamous dot-com boom of the 1990s. He a
 lso curated and funded the ground breaking project “Quiet” in an undergr
 ound bunker in NYC where over 100 people lived together on camera for 30
  days at the turn of the millennium. With Quiet\, Harris proved how we w
 illingly trade our privacy for the connection and recognition we all dee
 ply desire\, but with every technological advancement such as MySpace\, 
 Facebook and Twitter\, becomes more elusive. Through his experiments\, i
 ncluding a six-month stint living with his girlfriend under 24-hour elec
 tronic surveillance which led to his mental collapse\, Harris demonstrat
 ed the price we pay for living in public.  Featuring music by\, The Jesu
 s & Mary Chain\, David Bowie\, Nine Inch Nails\, The Pixies\, Sigur Ros 
 and Jamiroquai.  \n\n   Variety  &  Minnpost.com  Film critic\, Rob Nels

 y tale .” – New York Times \n \n“ Remarkable. Mesmerizing !” -LAWeekly
