Yarra Libraries have teamed up with the team from Leaps and Bounds Festival to screen a pair of movies that will have you bopping in the aisles!

4pm to 5pm - Sun Ra - A Joyful Noise (1980)

A unique documentary portrait of avant-garde jazz legend Sun Ra and his Arkestra in a pivotal moment between 1978 and 1980. Capturing performances, rehearsals, poetry readings and extensive improvisations. Not rated. English. 59mins.

6pm to 8pm - Wild Combination - A Portrait of Arthur Russell (2008)

After a life of relative obscurity, composer, producer and singer-songwriter Arthur Russell has become a highly influential cult figure decades after his tragic death in 1992. A queer pioneer and multi-hyphenate, Arthur’s work spanned genres such as pop, disco, post-punk and abstract experimentalism. This critically acclaimed documentary is a dreamy ode to his work and legacy. Not rated. English. 1hr 11mins.
