Mr. Soul!

From 1968 to 1973, the public television variety show SOUL!, guided by the enigmatic producer and host Ellis Haizlip, offered an unfiltered, uncompromising celebration of Black literature, poetry, music, and politics—voices that had few other options for national exposure, and, as a result, found the program an improbable place to call home. Watch the film online at maysles.org for $12.

“La Revolución Del Pueblo”: Muestra De Nuevo Cine Experimental Chilenx

In October 2019 a new popular movement was born in the streets of Santiago, Chile. Triggered by a fare increase of 30 pesos (around four cents), the movement soon came to embody 30 years of social discontent with a neoliberal model and a constitution imposed in 1980 under Pinochet’s dictatorship. As this new movement continues to grow in different cities of Chile, it is making its way to different social media platforms that have quickly formed a communal network. With a more direct way to share first-hand information coming from every neighborhood, people no longer need to rely on the national press, which is often controlled by wealthy families or the government. Watch this film series online at maysles.org for a suggested donation of $12.

Who is Machito?

What is known as Latin Jazz is truly the creation of one man – Frank Grillo, known around the world as Machito. He was the first to create an amalgam of Caribbean music and jazz, and his recordings with Charlie Parker and other jazz greats set the standard that still remains firmly in place.
