Arguably the world's most valuable, busiest and most crowded pieces of real estate, Midtown Manhattan is what most visitors think of when they think of New York City. Home to some of the city's most iconic architecture, from Gothic to Post-Modern and from Beaux-Arts to Art Deco (lots of Art Deco). it's not difficult to understand why. But just behind the massive facades, lie facinating histories just waiting to be unveiled. |

A Hawk and A Hacksaw, the duo of Jeremy Barnes and Heather Trost, known for performing traditional and original music steeped in Eastern European folk traditions, have confirmed the release of their sixth album You Have Already Gone To The Other World / Music Inspired By Paradjanov's Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors on April 2 via their own label L.M. Dupli-cation. The sixteen tracks on the double album feature seven originals along with nine Ukrainian, Hungarian and Romanian traditional songs re-imagined and arranged with inspiration taken from the legendary 1964 film Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors by Russian filmmaker Sergey Paradjanov.
Taking their cues from the surreal folk magic of Forgotten Ancestors, Barnes (of Neutral Milk Hotel) and Trost (who lends vocals and violin on Josephine Foster's latest album) began composing new music to perform along with the film and, in 2012, took the project on tour, accompanying the movie live in cinemas and theatres internationally. The new album is the product of those tours and the evolution of the music into something that can stand on its own - new compositions and traditional folk tunes which can not only accompany the film but work to create a new blend of music and prerecorded sound that comments on, and sometimes overtakes, the original soundtrack and dialogue.

Greenwich Village is among Manhattan's most desirable and expensive residential neighborhoods. It's history, however, betrays it's monied status. The Village, with it's quiet, shaded streets, lined with lovely brick and brownstone townhouses, was once the incubating ground of artistic, social and political movements that have helped shape US history. From the Beats to the Folk Movement, from workers rights to gay rights, the Village has often been the center of it all. |

This moving documentary tells the incredible true story of Sixto Rodriguez, the greatest ‘70's rock icon who never was. Discovered performing in a Detroit bar in the early ‘70's, Sixto Rodriguez’s style and sound struck two renowned producers and they immediately signed him to a recording deal. After his initial album was deemed a critical failure, the singer disappeared while a bootleg recording of the album found its way into South Africa and made him a phenomenon. Decades later, two South Africans set out to discover what happened to their unlikely musical hero.
