Marking the 40th anniversary of winning a singing competition as part of a choir from his hometown of Modena in 1955, Luciano Pavarotti keeps a long-held promise and returns to the small town in North Wales to give a very special gala concert at the 1995 Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod. Joining Pavarotti that evening is the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Leone Magiera, the modern day Corale Gioachino Rossini, Modena, directed by Paolo Rossini, and, for the finale, Japanese soprano Atzuko Kawahara. The program combines popular operatic arias and choruses, Neapolitan songs, one of Pavarotti’s own compositions, orchestral overtures and interludes, and a very special duet for the finale.

I recently rewatched a film Chantal Akerman made while living in New York. In it, we hear the letters her mother sent her from Europe while we see these long, static shots of the city. I thought about how I never really told you things. I’d say: this or that happened, but never: I’m sad, I miss home, I don’t know where I’m going, I’m happy, I’m in love, I love you. I thought about how often you asked me to stay in touch.

Tulus, a quiet 13-year-old boy, diligently attends Tahlilan (religious gatherings) in his village at the invitation of his uncle. Since his father's death, Tulus has often felt lonely. His mother works late into the night to make ends meet, leaving their home often lonely. Therefore, Tahlilan (religious gatherings) has become the only time Tulus can feel together and try to fill the emptiness in his heart.

Bella Sutra is a live cinematic performance about the messes we make as people, as a society, as families, and as humans. An honest and deeply personal essay about life as an innkeeper in Bella Coola, a remote mountain village in British Columbia, the film reflects on our current communication crisis, the rural/urban philosophical divide, and the myth of progress. A deeply personal essay on hand-developed 16mm films, this screening is accompanied by a live soundtrack and narration.

In this show he's tries to navigate the story of his own cancellation without turning into one of those right wing free speech comedians. Comment below if you think he managed it.
