SUMMARY:Paul Metzger / Peader MacMahon Trio / John Saint Pelvyn
DESCRIPTION:Deeply idiosyncratic folk music\, transcending time and space with visions from every corner fo the world!\nDoors at 7:30pm; Music at 8:00pm\n$10 supports the artists and the AltLib \nPAUL METZGER – A master on a self-built 23 string banjo\, Paul Metzger’s idiosyncratic & deeply original long form improvisations bring to mind American primitive guitar\, the sarod of Hindustani music\, or the Chinese Erhu. Fundamentally\, his music grows from a deep commitment to exploring every possible sound that can be extracted from his instrument. His ‘home-made’ aesthetic has drawn comparisons to DIY mavericks like Charlie Nothing and his Dingulators or Eugene Chadbourne with his electric rake\, but the depth of Metzger’s explorations led David Keenan to assert in Wire magazine that Metzger’s playing “reveals the true meaning of virtuosity.” A key player in the world of avant-garde & experimental folk\, he creates music evocative of some magical forgotten age but that is simultaneously rooted in the eternal present when fingers touch strings.\nhttps://paulmetzger.net/ \nPEADER MacMAHON / DANNY VOGEL / RICHARD SCHOLTZ\nPeadar MacMahon is an Irish Folk Singer\, storyteller and multi instrumentalist\, originally from Limerick\, Ireland. His strength lies in his unique interpretation of historic songs\, and performances that are equal parts charming\, heartfelt\, engaging and educational. He is joined for this show by Richard Scholtz and Danny Vogel.\nhttps://peadarmacmahon.com/ \nJOHN SAINT PELVYN\nGuitarist\, thereminist\, singer\, and player of some species of dismantled electrified folk\, John Saint Pelvyn is a musical enigma of the best kind. At the root of his playing is something akin to traditional stride\, but rich with quivering whammy bar wobble and shimmering feedback. He often plays the tailfin strings of his archtop like one would play harmonics\, or retunes seamlessly mid-stream to create a shifting temperament across the length of a piece. An affinity for the likes of John Fahey and Loren Mazzacane-Connors can be heard\, but the comparisons quickly fall away as one takes in this ambidextrous musical sensibility. He sings otherworldly vocal duets with his theremin while simultaneously accompanying himself with fingerpicking or modulated feedback tones across otherwise inviting harmonic landscapes based on blues & folk motifs\, overshadowing them with clouds of squelch that loom like an approaching post-noise squall\, but that ultimately swell and punctuate more like the tone clusters of Henry Cowell or the lyrical saxophone of Frank Lowe.\nhttps://johnsaintpelvyn.bandcamp.com/ \nRSVP and more info here: https://www.facebook.com/events/323797485144688/\nAltLib is always ALL AGES~\nNOTAFLOF

SUMMARY:Film: Harvest of Empire
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Bellingham Film Coalition\, Whatcom Peace & Justice Center presents… “Harvest of Empire\,” based on the book by award-winning journalist and Democracy Now! co-host Juan González. \nBy featuring stories from a wide array of immigrants\, rarely seen archival material\, and interviews with prominent activists\, “Harvest of Empire” takes an unflinching look at the role that U.S. economic and military actions played in triggering the wave of migration that is transforming our nation’s cultural and economic landscape. As Juan González says at the beginning of the film\, “They never teach us in school that the huge Latino presence here is a direct result of our own government’s actions in Mexico\, the Caribbean and Central America over many decades — actions that forced millions from that region to leave their homeland and journey north.” \n$5 suggested donation\nAltLib is always All Ages~\nNOTAFLOF \nRSVP and more info: https://www.facebook.com/events/2247856832147592/ \nBellingham Film Coalition is brought to you by:\nWhatcom Peace & Justice Center\nWhatcom-Skagit IWW\nFilm Is Truth\nAlternative Library

SUMMARY:Film: Harlan County\, USA
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Bellingham Film Coalition\, Whatcom-Skagit IWW presents… Harlan County\, USA\, a 1976 Oscar-winning documentary film covering the “Brookside Strike” in Harlan County\, southeast Kentucky\, in 1973.\nThey say in Harlan County\nThere are no neutrals there\nYou’ll either be a union man\nOr a thug for J.H. Blair.\n–Which Side Are You On? – Florence Reese \nIn this documentary director Barbara Kopple films a strike in rural Kentucky. After the coal miners at the Brookside Mine join a union\, the owners refuse the labor contract. Once the miners strike\, the owners of the mine respond by hiring scabs to fill the jobs of the workers\, and bring in gun thugs to threaten the miners. The strike\, which lasts more than a year\, frequently becomes violent\, with guns produced on both sides\, and one miner is killed. The film shows that women played a pivotal role in the strike. Their collective strength of character is vividly communicated as they organizes for picket duty\, harass the local sheriff into serving an arrest warrant that they have procured\, and in one of the film’s most memorably tense scenes\, face down a group of gun thugs with sticks and baseball bats.\nThe Director\, Barbara Kopple was asked if she was in danger while working on Harlan County\, USA. She reveals that the head scab\, Basil Collins\, wanted to hire someone to shoot her. However the most dangerous things were the acts of violence by the mine owners to the miners. The mine owners would hire “local prisoners to beat people up\, [shoot] at houses. The people had to line their walls with mattresses.” \n$5 suggested donation\nNOTAFLOF\nAltLib is always All Ages~ \nBellingham Film Coalition brought to you by:\nWhatcom-Skagit IWW\nWhatcom Peace & Justice Center\nFilm Is Truth\nAlternative Library

SUMMARY:Film: Vagabond
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Bellingham Film Coalition\, Film Is Truth presents…\n \nFilm Is Truth features French director Agnès Varda for a third month in a row with her most popular film\, Vagabond. In winter in the south of France\, a young woman is found frozen in a ditch. She’s unkempt\, a vagabond. Through flashbacks and brief interviews\, we trace her final weeks as she camps alone or falls in with various others\, many of whom project their needs onto her or try to give her life direction. With an unlikable and abrasive protagonist\, Varda pushes the limits of how women characters are represented on screen.  \n$5 suggested donation\nAltLib is always All Ages~\nNOTAFLOF \nRSVP and more info here: www.facebook.com/events/302085927147419/ \nBellingham Film Coalition brought to you by:\nFilm Is Truth\nWhatcom-Skagit IWW\nWhatcom Peace & Justice Center\nAlternative Library
