KINOWATT
March 24-26, 2021
Virtual Film Screening Organized by Maori Karmael Holmes & Eugene Lew
KINOWATT is a micro-festival exploring the connections between music, technology and culture. Over three days, a trilogy of screenings will feature electronic music’s female pioneers, the tiny recording studio and immigrant family who forged the reggae sound and how Baltimore’s budding creative community is using club music to re-write the city’s troubled narrative
"Films about music have been instrumental in helping audiences gain access to the stories of how and why certain recordings are made, and unique performances came to be as well as how movements have emerged. For this micro-festival, we are examining the connection between music, technology and culture. The program will feature three films that cover different music scenes, styles and parts of the globe, but they share one thing in common, a passion for innovation and the artist’s desire to make a mark upon the field."
