This next Friday marks the beginning of our new festival: SONICA EKRANO - Documentary film & the musical fringes, which will bring to Barreiro and Moita (Baixa da Banheira, more specifically) thirteen excellent documentaries concerning underground and unconventional musical figures and movements shown over ten days.
The festival will begin with two national premieres: "Acid Mothers Reynols: Live and Beyond", by Argentinian director Alejandro Maly will be shown in the opening session, presenting the fascinating encounter between Japanese band Acid Mothers Temple (who were present at OUT.FEST in an unforgettable concert in 2016) and the Argentinian Reynols (who have have Alan Courtis among their ranks, an extraordinary musician whom we've hosted in Barreiro for three times now for his work with Associação Nós). Then, on Friday, "Voice of the Eagle: The enigma of Robbie Basho" brings the guitarist's history to the big screen, portraying this North-American musician, composer and mystic, one of the great figures of the American fingerpicked guitar tradition alongside John Fahey.
Tickets for the festival are already on sale online and on the usual participating stores, such as Fnac, Worten and CTT.
