SUMMARY:"What Would Jesus Buy?" Screening
DESCRIPTION:What Would Jesus Buy? follows Reverend Billy and the Church of Stop Shopping Gospel Choir as they go on a cross-country mission to save Christmas from the Shopocalypse: the end of mankind from consumerism\, over-consumption and the fires of eternal debt! From producer Morgan Spurlock (Supersize Me) and director Rob VanAlkemade comes a serious docu-comedy about the commercialization of Christmas. Bill Talen (aka Reverend Billy) was a lost idealist who hitchhiked to New York City only to find that Times Square was becoming a mall. Spurred on by the loss of his neighborhood and inspired by the sidewalk preachers around him\, Bill bought a collar to match his white caterer’s jacket\, bleached his hair and became the Reverend Billy of the Church of Stop Shopping.  \n\n\n\nSince 1999\, Reverend Billy has gone from being a lone preacher with a portable pulpit preaching on subways\, to the leader of a congregation and a movement whose numbers are well into the thousands. Through retail interventions\, corporate exorcisms\, and some good old-fashioned preaching\, Reverend Billy reminds us that we have lost the true meaning of Christmas.  \n\n\n\nWhat Would Jesus Buy? is a journey into the heart of America – from exorcising the demons at the Wal-Mart headquarters to taking over the center stage at the Mall of America and then ultimately heading to the Promised Land … Disneyland. Will we be led like Sheeple to the Christmas slaughter\, or will we find a new way to give a gift this Christmas? What Would Jesus Buy? may just be the divine intervention we’ve all been searching for. The Shopocalypse is upon us …Who will be $aved?

SUMMARY:Trio Tarana
DESCRIPTION:Trio Tarana is led by percussionist/composer Ravish Momin\, who currently resides in New York City but was born in India and has lived in the Middle-East and England.  Therefore\, the creation of Trio Tarana\, in 2003\, was a natural culmination of all of those diverse influences. “Tarana” itself refers to a song-style in North Indian classical music\, where nonsense syllables or mnemonic drum sounds are used to spontaneously improvise a fluid chant or composition.    \n\n\n\nIn keeping with their namesake\, the trio primarily utilizes Indian and East-Asian rhythms as the foundation for a new creative musical experience; they also employ compositions that seamlessly blend written material with spontaneous group interaction. Their mission is to continue to explore the intersections of diverse Asian musical traditions with jazz\, and to share their unique Asian American musical concept and identity with audiences worldwide.  \n\n\n\nWhile Ravish had formally studied North Indian classical music and jazz\, he had also absorbed diverse influences growing up\, and was not prepared to discard them\, for one specific musical idiom.  He had felt rootless\, without a unique musical identity.  As an Asian American percussionist living in the United States\, he had long wanted to create music that both\, utilized his Indian musical traditions reverentially\, and was also reflective of his diverse influences\, thus rightfully depicting his hybrid musical identity. The trio consists of Momin with Sam Bardfield\, violin\, and Brandon Terzic\, oud\,  pioneering an improvised fusion of Asian and American influences.
