Music documentaries series on tap
With the sad news that
the 22nd annual Sisters Folk
Festival was forced to cancel
last weekend’s events, due
to on-going health concerns
from the wildfire smoke,
Sisters Movie House looks to
offer music fans some con-
solation, starting the week-
end of September 16-17 with
a selection of outstanding
music documentaries.
“We’re calling it the
‘More Than Folk’ Film
Festival,” said Drew Kaza
of Sisters Movie House.
“We had scheduled this in
well before the folk festi-
val cancellation, thinking it
was a perfect way to extend
the music lovers’ enjoyment
another week. Now we hope
it offers a little consolation
— and some great music sto-
ries — after the loss of the
folk fest this year.”
Kicking off with
“Sidemen: Long Road to
Glory” – which opens on
Saturday night, and con-
tinuing for three more days,
Sisters Movie House will
feature a different newly
released documentary film
each day — all of them pre-
miering for the first time in
Oregon.
In fact, “BANG! The
Bert Berns Story” – show-
ing on Sunday, September
17 — will ONLY be seen in
Sisters during the remain-
der of its theatrical run and
not seen anywhere else in
Oregon. It is the story of
1960s record label executive/
songwriter Bert Berns, who
founded the BANG! Label
and signed such notables
as Neil Diamond and Van
Morrison to their first record
deals. He also wrote the
hit song “Hang on Sloopy”
among other classics, all
before succumbing to a heart
condition before the age
of 40.
Saturday’s “Sidemen” fea-
tures the last surviving mem-
bers of the Howlin’ Wolf and
Muddy Waters blues bands,
while Monday’s “Two Trains
Runnin” might be a tale most
interesting to folk music
fans. It tells the story of two
country blues legends (Skip
James and Son House), who
disappeared from blues/roots
music for almost 30 years,
only to be re-discovered and
brought to a surprise appear-
ance at the 1964 Newport
Folk Festival to the delight of
the sell-out crowds.
“Two Trains is an amazing
story that we think will really
resonate with Sisters Folk
Festival fans,” said Kaza.
“The Newport Folk Festival
is the grand-daddy of them
all, and this movie is narrated
by Common with music from
Gary Clark, Junior, so it is
both classic and contempo-
rary at the same time.”
The More Than Folk
Film Festival wraps up on
Wednesday, September, 20,
with an intriguing look at
music industry legend Clive
Davis, who signed acts such
as Janis Joplin, Santana,
Aerosmith and Whitney
Houston amongst others over
a glittering career. “Clive
Davis: Soundtrack of Our
Lives” is a look at an iconic
figure, beloved by the artists
he nurtured through years at
Columbia and Arista Records
and beyond.
This is going to be a
special two months for
music fans at Sisters
Movie House.
— Drew Kaza
In addition, Sisters Movie
House announced that the
definitive Pearl Jam concert
documentary “Let’s Play
Two” with footage from
Chicago’s Wrigley Field, will
also screen in early October.
Dates for that event will be
announced shortly.
“This is going to be a spe-
cial two months for music
fans at Sisters Movie House,”
said Kaza.
“This is certainly no sub-
stitution for the folk festival,
but we hope it will tide some
over until 2018.”
