About the event
Are you attending multiple events or more than one day? Get your festival passes here. This AFMX 2024 film block includes selections in the Documentary Shorts category. The following titles are included in this screening block:
- Playing the Changes - Tracking Darius Brubeck (Feature) - Directed by Michiel ten Kleij - “Playing the Changes shows the social impact of jazz music, by telling the story of jazz pianist Darius Brubeck (born in 1947), the eldest son of legendary jazz musician Dave Brubeck. People quite often see him as 'the son of’ but he has used this distinction with idealism. This story examines why and how jazz had a transformative role in different types of societies such as Poland and South Africa and tracks Darius Brubeck’s involvement in both. Not only by embracing it - but also carrying on his father legacy in his own social, educational and musical way."
- Frozen Dead Guy Days (Short) - Directed by Mike Scalisi and Bruce Borowsky - "In the quirky mountains of Colorado, people from all over the world gather to throw a party for a frozen dead guy. “Grandpa” died in 1989 and was frozen by his Norwegian grandson who hid him away in a tiny shed along with one other body. The uncovering of the bodies, as well as the controversy that followed, led to an annual celebration of costumed weirdos looking to drink, dance, race coffins, and dive into a frozen lake."
