The Kingdom of Survival -- The Kingdom of Survival is an interdisciplinary documentary combining speculative travelogue and investigative journalism in order to trace possible links between survivalism, spirituality, art, radical politics, outlaw culture, alternative media and fringe philosophy. Circling through themes of utopianism, globalized capitalism, anarchism, intellectual and spiritual self-defense, religion and art, the film investigates physical and psychological survival strategies practiced by groups and individuals in a conflict-ridden and confused post-post- modern world. Maverick writer and filmmaker M.A. Littler hits the outlaw highway in search of visions that challenge the status quo. On his journey Littler crosses paths with renowned linguist and dissident Prof. Noam Chomsky, outlaw historian Dr. Mark Mirabello, gonzo journalist Joe Bageant, legendary reclusive cabin builder Mike Oehler, anarchist book publisher Ramsey Kanaan, egalitarian radio host Sasha Lilley and folk musician Will 'The Bull' Taylor. Together they explore radical and alternative visions for the 21st century.

Artists need communities. They need someone to compete with, someone to support them, someone to critique their work, someone to respond to, and someone to get a beer and commiserate with. www.livefrommemphis.com/rozelleartistsguild The Rozelle Artists Guild had its roots with a group of Memphis College of Art students who would get together to keep each other company while working on projects for school, but it has evolved into something bigger. Their collaborative philosophy extends beyond their own group, as they have worked on projects with Live from Memphis, among others. Named for its first home in a formerly abandoned warehouse at 822 Rozelle Street, the Guild is currently searching for a new space that will encourage artists of all stripes to discover the joys of collaborative creation.

The trailer for The Radiant Child. In his short career, Jean-Michel Basquiat was a phenomenon. He became notorious for his graffiti art under the moniker Samo on the Lower East Side in the late 1970s, sold his first painting to Deborah Harry for $200, and became best friends with Andy Warhol. Appreciated by both the art cognoscenti and the public, Basquiat was launched into international stardom. However, his cult status soon began to overshadow the art that had made him famous in the first place. In this definitive documentary, director Tamra Davis pays homage to Basquiat her friend and Basquiat the icon. His dense, neoexpressionist work emerged in a world where minimalist, conceptual art was the fad. And though he took the art world by storm, as a successful black artist, he was constantly confronted by racism from many in that world. Much can be gleaned from insider interviews and archival footage, but it is Basquiat s own words and work that powerfully convey the mystique and allure of both the artist and the man. Featuring interviews with Julian Schnabel, Larry Gagosian, Bruno Bischofberger, Tony Shafrazi, Fab 5 Freddy, Jeffrey Deitch, Glenn O'Brien, Maripol, Kai Eric, Nicholas Taylor, Fred Hoffmann, Michael Holman, Diego Cortez, Annina Nosei, Suzanne Mallouk, Rene Ricard, Kenny Scharf, among many others.

Henry Chinaski (Dillon) considers himself a writer, and on occasion writes. Mostly he quests for the booze and women that sidetrack and seduce, rather than inspire greatness. When he falls for Jan (Taylor), the soulful connection fails to save either from their self-destructive ways, and the relationship totters between earnest connection and reflective loathing. With exceptional performances that capture the intoxicated journey though life and art, Factotum is the story of a man living on the edge; a writer who risks everything, tries anything, and finds poetry in life's pleasure and pain.
