"Pocket Full of Soul" Free Screening
Event Type:  Screening
07/20/2009 @ 8:30 pm to 11:00 pm
Venice, CA

Pocket Full of Soul will be shown as a "sneak peek" in Los Angeles as part of 7 Dudley Cinema.

For those of you that do not know, Pocket Full of Soul is a comprehensive documentary which explores the mythos surrounding the harmonica and the unique relationships forged between the instrument and its players. Filmmaker Marc Lempert (in person) delivers an unvarnished and exciting look at the harmonica's rich subculture, it's versatility across music genres, and its subsequent ubiquity. Get up close and personal with the famous, infamous, and totally unknown players as a universal tale of passion, creativity, and musical celebration unfolds. Featuring interviews with John Popper (of Blue Traveler), James Cotton, Magic Dick (of J. Geils Band), Robert Klein, Peter Madcat Ruth, Lee Oskar (of WAR) and many more. Narrated by Huey Lewis.

Pocket Full of Soul starts at 8:30pm, but come early and see Mike Sakamoto's film Rollingman, in which Sakamoto combines harsh black and white images to portray the dead-end existence of a man living alone in a shabby house."Besides being funny and even a little touching, Rollingman offers a vision of "a way out" that transforms the human condition without attempting to transcend it."-Bill Krohn, Senses ofCinema.

Also, there will be a pre-show at 6pm with live music and rare blues films.
