February 28 –The Sunjata Story: Glimpse of a Mande Epic 

  • The life of Sunjata Keita, the prince who founded West Africa’s greatest empire almost 800 years ago, has been passed down for generations… Witness this special Cape Breton performance featuring two master musicians from Mali: singer Hawa Kasse Mady Diabate accompanied on balafon by Fode Lassana Diabate, with poetic translation by Professor Cherif Keita. FILM PLUS PANEL DISCUSSION & MUSICAL PERFORMANCE BY LASSANA DIABATE  

March 7 –Dominion– an iCreate Cape Breton project

  • Finn Yarborough– Once attracting a diverse population from around the globe, Cape Breton Regional Municipality struggles to recover from the collapse of the industry that fueled its growth and contributed to one of the worst environmental disasters in North America. The departure of Dominion Steel & Coal Corporation also triggered an economic disaster, fracturing the region’s vibrant social mosaic and tempting many to dream of its return… When dominion over nature becomes oppression of the human body and soul, the key to social and environmental resilience may be turned by the same hand.

March 21 – The Enemy: A Partisan Hymnbook 

  • Film screening: “The Enemy – A Partisan Hymnbook” by Federico Spinetti
    Post-punk guitarist Massimo Zamboni uncovers his family’s past, tragically marred by a gunshot in 1944. This is a music documentary about the memory of the WWII Resistance in Italy.

March 23 –  Zurkhaneh: The House of Strength Music and Martial Arts of Iran

  • This Federico Spinetti film captures voices, aspirations and contradictions of contemporary Iran in a journey across the nearly undocumented world of Zurkhaneh, the ancient Iranian gymnasia where traditional martial arts and music come together.

March 31 – Kosovo through the Eyes of Local Romani Musicians 

  • Svanibor Pettan is professor and chair of the ethnomusicology program at University of Ljubljana, Slovenia.
