Jeri Brown: The Spirit Comes Through selected to screen at 25th Atlantic Film Festival
New Scotland Pictures Inc. is pleased to announce that our BRAVO! documentary JERI BROWN: THE SPIRIT COMES THROUGH has been selected to screen at the 25th Atlantic Film Festival, which runs from September 15th through the 24th.
Produced by New Scotland Pictures Inc. and starring acclaimed jazz artist Jeri Brown and fifteen extraordinary young singers, the show is part performance and part documentary, as we watch Jeri choose the singers from Nova Scotia’s black community, mentor them through a rigorous rehearsal process, and perform with them in front of the television cameras at St. Matthews. The choir performs with professional polish and irrepressible high spirits, but it is range and depth of talent displayed by Jeri’s chosen soloists – Gilbert Downey, Jenika Simmons, Jonathan Munro, Tiyaila Cain-Grant and Kienya Smith – that will move and astonish the audience.
As part of the Atlantic film Festival’s Atlantic Focus program, JERI BROWN: THE SPIRIT COMES THROUGH will screen on Friday September 23rd, at 9:30 p.m., at the Park Lane Cinema, 5657 Spring Garden Road, Halifax. Tickets are $10, and go on sale one hour before show-time. Tickets can also be purchased on the Atlantic Film Festival’s website – www.atlanticfilm.com.
