Title: The Wall-to-Wall Project
Artists: Orin Rutchick and Chris Welsch
The Wall-to-Wall Project documents the rites and rituals of modern travelers at two very different pilgrimage sites: The Western Wall in Jerusalem and the limestone wall surrounding Graceland in Memphis. In each case, a wall has become a substitute for the object of reverence it once protected or supported. In each case, the wall becomes the mediating line between present and past, between this world and another one. In each case, pilgrims form an instant community, together seeking the intangible in the tangible.

Title: After The War (God's Dream, LLC)
Artist: Patrick Wells

The film opens up a new way of thinking about death and healing through the true-life stories of the IADC "experiencers,” offering hope, forgiveness, and sometimes, spiritual transformation. AFTER THE WAR will challenge our personal beliefs and ask us to tap into the deepest parts of our humanity–to assist an estimated 200,000-400,000 "walking wounded,” returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.

Title: Black String Revival (Fretless Films)
Artist: John Whitehead
Before the Blues--and the phonograph-- revolutionized popular music, African-American string bands featuring banjo and fiddle played for “frolics” (square dances), parades, house parties, corn shuckings, funerals, and baby christenings. Largely forgotten, this vital musical tradition survived into the 1950s. Now a new generation of blacks is rediscovering and reinvigorating the string band tradition. Black and white scholars are documenting the African origins of the banjo and how African-Americans adapted it. At the same time, young African-American string bands like The Carolina Chocolate Drops, The Ebony Hillbillies, Sankofa Strings, and Don Vappie and His Creole Jazz Serenaders are reinventing traditional banjo and fiddle music. Black String Revival, an hour-long documentary, will tell the story of the rise and fall and the rise again of the Black string band tradition.
