    Millions know their voices, but no one knows their names. In his compelling film “20 Feet from Stardom”, award-winning director Morgan Neville shines a spotlight on the untold true story of the backup singers behind some of the greatest musical legends of the 21st century.

    Triumphant and heartbreaking in equal measure, the film is both a tribute to the unsung voices who brought shape and style to popular music and a reflection on the conflicts, sacrifices and rewards of a career spent harmonizing with others.  

    These gifted artists span a range of styles, genres and eras of popular music, but each has a uniquely fascinating and personal story to share of life spent in the shadows of superstardom.

    Along with rare archival footage and a peerless soundtrack, “20 Feet from Stardom” boasts intimate interviews with Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Wonder, Mick Jagger and Sting to name just a few.  However, these world-famous figures take a backseat to the diverse array of backup singers whose lives and stories take center stage in the film.

    “Sheer perfection! Just watch Morgan Neville’s exhilarating documentary and try not to stand up and cheer.” – Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

    “Infectious and irresistible. Their voices are powerful enough to tear you apart and put you back together again, and their stories will do the same.” – Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times

    “A gift! This generous, fascinating documentary seeks to rewrite the history of pop music by focusing attention on voices at once marginal and vital.” – A.O. Scott, The New York Times

    “20 Feet from Stardom” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre on Tuesday, May 11 at 4 and 7 p.m. Tickets are $12, or $9 for Film Festival members.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
