Autumnal Greetings from Tamarack Productions World HQ!!!
Pleased to offer this wee update on the continuing progress of In Search of Blind Joe Death – The Saga of John Fahey
This evening the film screens for a fourth time in the past year in London, UK at Goldsmiths, University of London. The film will be followed by live music and a discussion with a music journalist and anthropologist.
The film appears at WOMEX World Music Expo in Cardiff, Wales, Oct. 23-27.
The doc is slated for broadcast by BBC4 in December.
The USA theatrical release continues with upcoming screenings in California, Massachusetts, New Mexico and North Carolina. (We at World HQ are particularly excited about the Albuquerque screening – that city is also the title of our favourite Neil Young song!) Our John Fahey film is screened in tandem with Approximately Nels Cline, a fine film about the guitarist Cline.
