The BFI are actually screening Ghostwatch for a horror movie season they're currently showing. I remember watching part of Ghostwatch when it first aired, but I fell asleep midway through. I briefly woke up when all the wildness started happening, but I was in that half-awake/half-asleep state where I didn't register anything. I tried asking my Mum what happened the following day, but she was very tight-lipped about it all. She seemed very unimpressed with the whole endeavour.


This week\u2019s quick rec is \u201CFreedom Flight\u201D, the closing track from the 1971 LP of the same name by the American musician Shuggie Otis. Otis, who is of African American, Filipino, and Greek descent, is probably best known for his song \u201CStrawberry Letter 23\u201D which, as recorded by The Brothers Johnson and produced by Quincy Jones, was a big chart hit in 1977, and later featured on the score for Quentin Tarantino\u2019s Jackie Brown (1997).


Anyway, \u201CFreedom Flight\u201D is wonderful: a near 13 minute instrumental soundscape of pealing horns, chiming guitars, and delicate, melodic bass noodling (my favorite kind.) I must confess I have no idea whether the songs\u2019s title is inspired by the real-life so-called Freedom Flights (Los vuelos de la libertad) that transported Cubans to Miami in large numbers between 1965 to 1973, but either way, it\u2019s a monumentally transporting and relaxing piece of music, and I\u2019ve been listening to it a lot.


I had a very nice time at last week\u2019s Indie Memphis film festival, which was celebrating its 25th edition. Highlights of my visit included a screening of Benjamin Christensen\u2019s berserk witchcraft horror/essay film/comedy H\u00E4xan (1922) featuring a live, theremin-fueled, and curiously (but somehow appropriately) smooth-jazzy score; the good vibes/sounds/eats of the Black Creators Forum brunch; and the privilege of serving on the Departures (experimental/avant-garde film) jury alongside two people I greatly admire: writer/scholar Yasmina Price; and critic/filmmaker Blair McClendon. We handed out three awards: short film to Maya at 24 by Lynne Sachs, mid-length film to Civic by Dwayne LeBlanc, and feature film to Cette Maison (This House) by Miryam Charles. We loved all three, and I would suggest keeping an eye out to catch any of them when and where you can.


If I\u2019m being honest, though, my real high point of Indie Memphis was attending a rather unexpected late night screening of the television special Ghostwatch, a true oddity which was broadcast once on BBC1, on Halloween night of 1992\u2026 and never again.


Indie Memphis managing director Joseph Carr told me before the screening that he stumbled across Ghostwatch on streaming service Shudder a few years back, and was so shaken that he felt the need to share it with a wider audience. It also didn\u2019t hurt that this year marked the thirtieth anniversary of its first and only broadcast. I\u2019d read about the show in the past, and vaguely recall it airing at the time, but I hadn\u2019t actually seen it until last week. I found it to be a staggeringly effective piece of television: intelligent, technically astonishing, and genuinely haunting. I\u2019ve been turning it over in my mind since.


Now, there\u2019s a reason why I\u2019ve been so absurdly vague about what Ghostwatch actually is, and that\u2019s because I think this is one of those rare occasions where, even thirty years after the fact, a spoiler alert is justified, and coming to it completely cold\u2014opening yourself up to the world it creates, and imagining that you had tuned into that initial broadcast moments after the BBC announcer had cued up the show with some context\u2014could be beneficial to your viewing experience.


That said, there\u2019s plenty of information about the backstory, intent and legacy of Ghostwatch freely available online, and you\u2019re welcome to look it up if you\u2019re someone who prefers to have a little bit of foreknowledge. I assume my British readers are likely to be much more familiar with the show and its milieu than my American and other international readers. After you\u2019ve watched, you may wish to check out this entertaining and informative episode of the \u201CCriminal\u201D podcast about the show (thank you to artist Onyeka Igwe for flagging that one for me!) And it\u2019s also out on Blu-ray soon, too.
