Welcome to the 17th annual East Lansing Film Festival! You are in for quite a wonderful, wide array of films from the Opening Night Film Keep On Keepin’ On, a Michigan premiere to the last filmOnly Lovers Left Alive, Jim Jarmusch’s take on the ever popular vampire genre. In between those two films you will learn about some pretty interesting people: a Jewish cardinal; a 99-year-old Chinese American revolutionary from Detroit; a woman who bakes pies in Pie Town, New Mexico; an Indian American using his matchmaking parents to find him a new wife; a North Dakota minister caring for many itinerant workers; and about a legendary running back from U of M. You will learn how ice has formed and influenced the Great Lakes, about a world-famous music store in Lansing; how coffee is grown, harvested and traded in South America; what it took to keep General Motors in Lansing; the heartbreaking correspondence to grieving parents; and much more. Come discover new worlds and new people, be entertained with music, stories and imagination. We will be conducting a discussion after every film

Susan W. Woods so you can ask questions, express your feelings and see the film through the eyes of others.

This film is about the magic of music, the grace and generosity of mentor- ship, the strength of survival. Shot over the course of five years, this film depicts the remarkable story of 93-year-old jazz legend Clark Terry. A living monument to the Golden Era of Jazz, Terry was a mentor to Miles Davis and Quincy Jones among others. His newest protégé is Justin Kauflin, a blind, 23-year-old piano prodigy. As Justin is about to compete in an elite Jazz competition, Terry’s health begins to falter. We live with them as they face their most frightening challenges. You will be inspired by their resilience and optimism. And, be treated to some gorgeous music!

Charlie Richardson, the band’s chief songwriter, is a Colorado native who spent time in Oklahoma before relocating to mid-Michigan. The band specializes in what it calls “post-mod- ern cowboy swing.” Backed by musicians David Stowe and Mike Lawrence, Richardson’s new disc is filled with witty country/folk songs. The songsmith copyrighted his first tune back in 1979, a song titled “Bucket- Sun. OCT ful of Blues”; 1980’s “Rutabaga Blues” was his next endeavor. After that short-lived hurrah in the music biz, Richardson put rocking on the backburner until recent years, when he decided to give it another go. “I Herd 19TH Songs” is his first collection of originals and is also available on iTunes.
