It follows Ruiz from Havana back to his home town, Santa Clara, for emotional reunions with old friends and family. After an intimate portrait of creation and a new window into life in Cuba, the film follows the dance back to New York, where Danza Contemporanea performs at the Joyce Theater.

A lucid portrait of one of the most unconventional and influential composers of the 20th Century. Throughout his life, Lou Harrison (1917-2003) studied and experimented freely with western, eastern and custom-made instruments, embracing artistic playfulness over the classical rules of composition. His unbounded thinking and unbridled experimentation blossomed into the creation of a vast body of work for dance, opera, orchestra and unlikely pairings of chamber instruments. This film offers a rare glimpse into the intimate personal struggles and artistic development of a legendary composer. It is the culmination of more than two decades of research and documentation by filmmaker/music producer Eva Soltes who enjoyed a close relationship with Harrison.

If you lived in the Yonkers-Bronx corridor during the early 80's and were into the local music scene, you probably caught the infamous band, Kleen Kut, more than a few times. This documentary chronicles the story of five friends born and raised in the Bronx, and their struggle for improbable stardom, in the world of rock and roll. Recent interviews and performances are interspersed with a wealth of archival footage from the band's creation and performing days, and a possible reunion. This character-driven true story of quirky personalities is sometimes tragic but always told with the humor and energy for life that originally brought these friends together.
