I Called Him Morgan(2016)| Written & Directed by Kasper Collin | 1h 32min

On a snowy night in February 1972, celebrated jazz musician Lee Morgan was shot dead by his common-law wife Helen during a gig at a club in New York City. The murder sent shockwaves through the jazz community, and the doubles as a seductive tribute to its subject’s jazz passion as well as an absorbing look at a fatally doomed relationship. Called “one of the best films of the year” by the Los Angeles Times, it is a film about love, jazz and America.

Check the schedule below: there are two chances to see each film!

    Saturday, October 14:
