The Northwest Film Center’s
35th annual Reel Music Festival
kicks off this week with docu-
mentaries about some of music’s
most legendary acts, celebrating
jazz, blues, rock, soul, classical,
avant-garde and every genre in
between.
The month long lineup in-
cludes films about everyone from
rock legend Eric Clapton, to one
of rock music’s founding fathers,
Fats Dominos, to alt rock sensa-
tion Deer Tick, folk legend Bob
Dylan and singer Sammy Davis
Jr., among many others.
Mriaim Makeba, an African
singer famous for blending Af-
ro-pop, world music, and jazz
to reach audiences all over the
world, will be one of the subjects
explored in the film “Mama Af-
rica: Miriam Makeba.” Her life,
music and political message of
fighting against racism and pov-
erty and promoting peace and
justice are examined through
rare footage of her electric per-
formances and interviews from
famous friends like Harry Be-
lafonte, Paul Simon, Angélique
Kidjo, and husbands Stokely
Carmichel and Hugh Masekela.
Also featured are films on the
legendary Cuban group Buena
Vista Social Club,” an explo-
ration of electronic music pio-
neer Suzanne Ciani, and “Mr.
Handy’s Blues,” a portrait of
W.C. Handy (1873-1958), called
the father of blues, who brought
the genre into the mainstream
and first made it commercially
viable.
The Reel Music Festival

Film Center’s Whitsell Auditori-
um, located at the Portland Art
Museum, downtown. Tickets
