“Through our Neighbors’ Eyes” Virtual Film Series – Film 2: Cultures in the Crossfade: Lincoln

Join Nebraska Is Home: “Through our Neighbors’ Eyes”, a virtual film series bringing together a collection of short films that highlight immigrant and refugee stories from people in Nebraska, and experiences of belonging.

These three films feature local Nebraskans’ stories! Following each film, we will speak with the filmmakers and people who have this lived experience—all with the aim of enhancing our understanding of our neighbors. Make a cup of cocoa, turn on your virtual fireplace, and join us for the film and discussion:

This 20-minute documentary Cultures in the Crossfade tells the story of the international musicians who found a home and new life paths in Nebraska. The “crossfader” is a tool of DJ mixing, used to mix without erasing, to combine without destroying, to juggle and sustain differences similar to these musicians who bond over making music together. Musicians who had not played together nor shared the same styles of music bond over new music created as they bring their experiences and cultures together.

Hasan Khalil, musician, barber and community builder and Josh Kun, author, academic and music critic will join us for discussion following the film screening.
