  • I Called Him Morgan“
    Bemerkungen zu „I Called Him Morgan“ DVD 2017, (Dokumentar-Film — Schweden/USA) Regie und Skript: Kasper Collin Interviewpartner: Larry Reni Thomas, Wayne Shorter, Paul West, Charli Persip, Albert 'Tootie' Heath, Ron St. Clair, Larry Ridley, Jymie Merritt, Al Harrison, Larry Ridley, Lena Sherrod, Bennie Maupin, Jerry Schultz, Judith Johnson, Billy Harper. Vorbemerkungen: Lee Morgan (* 1938 in Philadelphia; † 19. Februar 1972 in New York, erschossen von seiner Frau Helen Morgan) war ein amerikanischer Jazz-Trompeter, der als einer der wichtigsten Exponenten des Hard Bop gilt. Als Solist war er auf seinen zahlreichen Platten eine der markantesten Trompeten-Stimmen der 50er und vor allem der 60er Jahre. Er modernisierte den Bebop in die zeitgemäße Form des Hard-Bop und brachte ganz nebenbei mit seinem Überraschungs-Hit „The Sidewinder“ auch noch den Funk-Jazz ins Rollen. Mir lag die englische DVD zur Besprechung vor. Auf Netflix ist der Film mit deutschen Untertiteln zu finden. Die Dokumentation handelt vom Menschen Lee Morgan, der Beziehung zu seiner Frau Helen, der gemeinsamen Liebe zum Jazz und den tödlichen Schüssen auf Lee durch Helen im New Yorker Jazzclub Slug‘s. Der Film wurde auf der Plattform www.metacritics.com zum Film des Jahres 2017 gewählt. Bei Rotten Tomatoes erhielt er eine Bewertung von 9 Punkten (von 10 möglichen Punkten). 1 Filmplakat 2 Filminhalt: Der Film beginnt mit der Aussage von Zeitzeugen, die die tödlichen Schüsse auf Lee Morgan 1972 erlebt haben. Alle waren schockiert über die Tat. Der Film wechselt dann in das Jahr 2013 nach Wilmington in North Carolina/USA. Ein Lehrer (Larry Reni Thomas) der Wilson High-School beschreibt seine erste Begegnung mit der Täterin Helen Morgan 1988 in einer Abendveranstaltung über Geschichte für Erwachsene.

  • NEW PRINT Program
    Co-Chairs Welcome 2016 A film festival is as good as the support that it receives from its community, volunteers and the selection of films -- perhaps a revolving combination of that order at all times. 2016 presented the Lunenburg Doc Fest (LDF) team with new opportunities, an expanded program, and a venue challenge. The Town of Lunenburg, the sponsorship community and the LDF team embraced the evolving changes and here we are in this charming renovated theatre, the Lunenburg Opera House, a performing arts theatre to be proud of. We invite you to immerse yourself in four days of thought-provoking, stimulating and entertaining films. Finally, we are grateful for the support that the festival has received from our private and public sponsors without whose generous participation none of this would be possible. The Executive Directors, Pamela Segger and Debra Beers, deserve special mention for their stellar public and behind the scenes organizational work. We would like to thank the volunteer LDF Board and Committee members for their diligence and the many volunteers who dedicate their time and energy. All who contribute to the success of this event, and that includes you, our fellow film enthusiasts, believe in Lunenburg and that the community can champion a growing festival such as this. We thank you sincerely for your continued support. Inge Hatton Ian Lightstone Co-Chair Co-Chair - 1 - Executive Directors’ Welcome 2016 Welcome to Lunenburg Doc Fest!

  • I CALLED HIM MORGAN Press Notes
    I CALLED HIM MORGAN a film by Kasper Collin I CALLED HIM MORGAN a film by Kasper Collin PRESS CONTACT: V Kelly & Associates, Inc. [email protected] CANADIAN DISTRIBUTION: Films We Like [email protected] _____________________________________ SYNOPSIS On a snowy night in February 1972, celebrated jazz musician Lee Morgan was shot dead by his wife Helen during a gig at a club in New York City. The murder sent shockwaves through the jazz community, and the memory of the event still haunts those who knew the Morgans. This feature documentary by Swedish filmmaker Kasper Collin is a love letter to two unique personalities and the music that brought them together. A film about love, jazz and America. ___________________________________________________________________ KASPER COLLIN – writer, producer, director I CALLED HIM MORGAN is Kasper Collin’s second feature film. He directed the critically acclaimed documentary MY NAME IS ALBERT AYLER (2006), which was theatrically released in the UK and US in 2007 and 2008 and was exceptionally well received — Sight & Sound said the film was “A triumph … turning Ayler’s short turbulent life into compelling narrative,” while The New Yorker praised it as “…remarkable… offers magical moments of a madeleine-like power…a cause for rejoicing” and JazzTimes dubbed the title “one of the most starkly beautiful and moving documentaries ever made about a jazz musician.” Kasper currently lives in Gothenburg and runs his own production company. He has worked as a producer for other filmmakers and was chairman of the Independent Filmmakers Organization in Sweden between 2009 and 2014. Kasper has a degree in Culture and Film Studies from Gothenburg University and has been working in film and television since the mid- 1990s.
