Passing Through Film
Passing Through Film
On Saturday in Philly, I caught "Passing Through", a 1977 jazz film that is touring as part of a UCLA Film Archive - LA Rebellion series. This movie is of interest, since it has rare footage of the Horace Tapscott Pan African Arkestra performing in it and the soundtrack has music from Ornette Coleman, Sun Ra, and many other avant-garde jazz luminaries of that time period. There is lots of performing jazz in the context of the film and while the plot might be a bit thin for its 111 minutes, those of us who love the music will find it engaging. It is screening in Queens on Saturday, February 2, 2013 at 3:00 pm at the Museum of the Moving Image, 36--01 35 Avenue, Astoria, NY 11106 (Tel: 718-777-6999). The movie is free with museum admission. The webpage describing the film and the screening is:

It is also screening in Toronto as part of the TIFF Cinematheque series on Thursday, February 14 at 6:15 pm. The website does not give a location, but has a phone number of 416-599-TIFF.
