December 24-28 All Day Still/Moving STILL/MOVING is a triptych of collaborative compositions created by an international working group of artists and writers who formed out of a 3-day virtual workshop, led by Lynne Sachs and Paolo Javier, in May 2020. During this initial workshop, a cohort of folks from around the world (Uruguay, Ireland, and all across the US) met over Zoom to explore the resonances and ruptures between still/ moving images and written/spoken words. Inspired by the experience, the participants decided to continue working together and have since made two more collaborative projects over the ensuing months combining language and moving imagery in various forms. There will be a live Q&A with the participants on Dec. 17th at 8:00pm Watch online at maysles.org December 25 12:00pm The Rare Miles Davis Celebrate the holidays with some of the least-known and rare recordings of one of jazz’s greatest icons: Miles Davis.
