MOON LIGHTNIN’
John Gardiner, USA, 2008, 93 min.
It has been over 60 years since New York City bluesman,
Floyd Lee, left the hill country of Mississippi and with his exodus he turned
his back on a troubled childhood and a harsh life in the cotton fields.
Abandoned by a mother he never knew, Floyd still wrestles with unanswered
questions to his mysterious and painful past. Now at the age of 73, Floyd and
his band embark on a deeply personal journey back home to Mississippi to
reconnect with the family he left behind and search for the family he never
knew. Along the way they are forced to deal with a tragedy that will change
their lives forever. From independent filmmaker, John Gardiner, comes the
powerful and gripping story of Floyd Lee. ( www.fullmoonlightnin.com).
Preceded by a solo concert with Tucson blues maestro Tom Walbank, sponsored by
the Tucson Blues Society.
Admission $7

A DEAL
IS A DEAL
Jonathan Gershfield, United Kingdom, 2008, 95 min.
London subway driver Paul (played by Mackenzie Crook of the
BBC’s The Office) has had two unfortunate accidents in as many weeks.
Traumatized but completely blameless, his fellow drivers inform him of the
'Three Strike' rule; three fatal accidents within a month and you're out of a
job ... but with a huge pay off! A chance meeting with suicidal Tommy (Colm
Meaney of Star Trek) starts Paul thinking about rigging the system and
cashing in. Paul and Tommy strike a bargain and the deal is set. But after a
weekend spent tying up loose ends together, the men each find something that has
eluded them both for years -- true friendship. But on Monday morning, they are
back to the reality of the deal they struck. And a deal is a deal. ( www.adealisadeal.com)
