It&#8217;s a concert. It\u2019s the Shift, a collision between film, live music, movement, and politics. \u00a0In what looks like an incredible immersive 360\u00b0 experience, the audience can expect the world premiere of four short films that\u00a0include documentary, experimental, dance film, and music video genres, all created by the award-winning tactical media duo Joseph Johnson-Cam\u00ed and Ayelen Liberona and starring celebrated dance artist Margie Gillis. The films will unfold on four screens accompanied by musical performances from Music in the Barns Chamber Ensemble and LAL&#8217;s politically charged electronic music. Not to be missed.
