Festival Selects "Worlds of Sound" Director's Choice


The Black Maria Film + Video Festival has selected Spark Media's documentary, "Worlds of Sound: The Ballad of Folkways," for its Director's Choice. The New Jersey based Festival is an international juried competition and awards tour that rewards cutting edge works from independent film and video makers. This means the one-hour film, narrated by Pete Seeger, and directed by Spark Media president Andrea Kalin, about Moses Asch -- the rebel record producer who founded Folkways Records -- will be hitting the festival circuit through the Festival's national public exhibition program. Keep an eye out for announcements about upcoming screenings. Congratulations to Andrea, Richard Carlin (author of the book, Worlds of Sound: The Story of Smithsonian Folkways), the Smithsonian Channel, Smithsonian Folkways Records, and all the fabulous staff and crew who had a hand in making the film. Cheers.
