STREAMING: HEARTWORN HIGHWAYS AT MAYSLES

February 5th to 19th, Heartworn Highways, virtual screening courtesy Maysles Cinema, $10 online admission.  “Sometimes, a documentary maker is present at precisely the right moment to capture lightning in a bottle. It happened with essential punk doc The Decline of Western Civilization, it happened with Dylan’s Don’t Look Back and Chet Baker’s Let’s Get Lost, and it happened with 1976’s Heartworn Highways. The iconic performance documentary saw filmmaker James Szalapski travel to Texas and Tennessee to capture the radical country artists reclaiming the genre via an appreciation for its heritage in folk and bluegrass and a rejection of the mainstream Nashville machine.  More details and online tickets at the Maysles Cinema site: LINK
