Sultans of String: The Refuge Project
April 26 @ 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
$20.00
6x CFMA winning Sultans of String present a special Screening of its Cannes World Film Festival winning documentary, “Sultans of String: The Refuge Project – Visual Album”.
This 95-minute screening will be followed by a Q&A with producer/bandleader and Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal recipient Chris McKhool.
Mixed in full Dolby Atmos, this ambitious, diverse, inclusive, and passionately political film puts this world music supergroup face-to-face with a VIP roster of global ‘ambassadors,’ some of whom are recent immigrants and refugees to Canada and the U.S., as well as essential Indigenous voices. All are masters of global music that communicate with each other through the universal language of music.
Addressing the struggles of life on Mother Earth has always inspired this band. In Sultans of String: The Refuge Project – Visual Album, they bring their unique brand of musical synergy and collaboration to bear on discussion and songs that speak to the challenges facing the world’s displaced peoples—their stories, their songs, their persistence and their humanity.
Joined by an international cast, this three-time JUNO nominated band immerses themselves in the plight of the international refugee, and the humanitarian response that should greet everyone in search of a home.
The film is receiving industry recognition on the Film Festival circuit including the Cannes World Film Festival, Vancouver Independent Film Festival, Boston Independent Film Awards, LA Independent Film Channel Festival, and the Hollywood International Golden Age Festival.
