The Film Festival’s collaboration with top homegrown record label Yadig continues with a folk film showcase featuring our favourite singer songwriter Serious Sam Barrett, performing alongside an exclusive new documentary about him, Hardeep Pandhal’s stunning Sam at 30, the first of a proposed series of films. Sam has also selected three extraordinary, rarely seen American folk shorts: Mouth Music (a survey of weird and hilarious traditional a capella vocal techniques), It Ain’t City Music (at a great cowboy songwriting contest) and Mermaids, Frogs Legs and Fillets (seafood sellers’ rapping and rhyming long before the advent of hip hop).
