Noise Pop: The Case of the Three-Sided Dream

Saturday, February 21, 2015, 2:00 pm, $12

The Case of the Three-Sided DreamQ&A with director Adam Kahan
Rahsaan Roland Kirk was more than a blind musician who could play three horns at once, more than one of the most exciting and amazing sax players who ever lived. Beyond the mind-boggling ability to play multiple melodies at the same time, he was a warrior against racial injustice, fought for people with disabilities, and was tireless in his campaign for a wider appreciation of Jazz (or, his preferred term: Black Classical Music). Packed with electrifying archival footage of Kirk and his music, intimate interviews, and inspired animated sequences, the film is an absorbing look at the man who wouldn’t even let partial paralysis keep him from pursuing what he called “The Religion of Dreams.” Directed by Adam Kahan. 2014. Digital. 88 minutes.
