Marsalis is known for his excellence in both classical and jazz genres, and his arrangements and interpretations bear influence from a broad musical background. From his initial recognition as a young jazz lion, he has expanded his vision as an instrumentalist, composer, bandleader, and educator, crossing stylistic boundaries while maintaining an unwavering creative integrity.
The Branford Marsalis Quartet, formed in 1986, remains his primary means of expression and will join him for the Bloomington performance. The quartet’s most recent album, The Secret Between the Shadow and the Soul, was met with critical acclaim, earning a Grammy nomination and is considered the group’s most emotionally wide-ranging and melody driven release to date.

Jean-Luc Godard is synonymous with cinema. With the release of Breathless in 1960, he established himself overnight as a cinematic rebel and symbol for the era’s progressive and anti-war youth. Sixty-two years and 140 films later, Godard is among the most renowned artists of all time, taught in every film school yet still shrouded in mystery. One of the founders of the French New Wave, political agitator, revolutionary misanthrope, film theorist and critic, the list of his descriptors goes on and on. Godard Cinema offers an opportunity for film lovers to look back at his career and the subjects and themes that obsessed him, while paying tribute to the ineffable essence of the most revered French director of all time.
Filmmaker Cyril Leuthy sat down with Godard’s many collaborators–family, frenemies, and muses (Nathalie Baye, Julie Delpy, Hanna Schygulla)–who have a lot to say about an eternal rebel who was still exhausting himself in the hunt for a perfect cinema, even with 140 films under his belt.
At the time of his death in September 2022, Godard had been in the midst of planning another feature, an adaptation of Belgian author Charles Plisnier’s 1937 novel Faux Passports. Though it was never produced, Godard put together the intricate and beautiful Trailer Of A Film That Will Never Exist: Phony Wars, which now stands as his final work, a complex collage of history, politics, and cinema constructed of paper and glue, paintings and photographs, sound and silence. He accompanied it with the following text: “Rejecting the billions of alphabetic diktats to liberate the incessant metamorphoses and metaphors of a necessary and true language by returning to the locations of past film shoots, while keeping track of modern times.”
An intimate look at the war in Ukraine, as seen through the eyes of artists who remained to make art as a defiant act in the face of aggression.
The Rule of Two Walls has not yet opened in theaters (hence no reviews to report) but we have this from the Tribecca Film Festival:
While their lives are getting irreversibly altered, the film beautifully documents how their work — as visual artists, musicians, street artists, performance artists, and filmmakers — both processes the moment and offers hope. Visceral, poetic, and urgent, Rule of Two Walls illuminates the vital role of cultural and spiritual defiance in times of crisis.
