  Shelley King & Carolyn Wonderland

  When Shelley King and Carolyn Wonderland combine forces, magic seems to follow. Exceptional roots and blues artists in their own right, their shows together over the past few years weld the guitar firebrands in mutual support, especially when Wonderland’s scorching signature blues licks lean into King’s soulful vocals and songwriting. After five years touring with John Mayall, Wonderland returned with 2021’s blistering Tempting Fate, while King’s Madam Mystic, released last year, balances deeply cutting folk with funk-laced grooves. James McMurtry and Bonnie Whitmore & the Sad Girls hold down the late-night slots. – Doug Freeman

  Woman Is the Future of Man (2004)

  Writer and director Hong Sang-soo is an icon of slice-of-life cinema from South Korea. His work is a master class in capturing the human condition in all its raw, unpretty, oftentimes uneventful glory. He’s able to paint his protagonists in shades of gray without them seeming dull. They simply are, and the life that happens around them forces them into colors that require attention – reds, blues, bruise purple, blinding yellow. While the stories themselves are unsensational, the intricate attention to character study earns the auteur an iconic status among the peninsula’s pantheon of iconic filmmakers, pushing the boundaries of comfort for an oddly conservative industry. With AFS’s Essential Cinema series-starter Woman Is the Future of Man (2004), Hong takes mundane conversation and forces viewers to lean into the various meanings and avenues those conversations take.: – Cy White
