The Seventh Art Stand series has received the national attention it deserves. Iraqi Odyssey is a compelling documentary that looks at the history of Iraq from the many perspectives of a family that, like seeds in the air, was blown to and planted roots in every corner of this world. Iraq was initially on this list, but it was removed when Trump tried to impose the ban a second time. The series concerns films from countries listed in Donald Trump’s xenophobic and racist Muslim travel ban. This film is a part of the Seventh Art Stand series that was organized by Richard Abramowitz, the founder of Abramorama in New York City, and Courtney Sheehan, the executive director of Northwest Film Forum. The second film in the series is Late Spring, which doesn't have much action in it but presents the kind of stillness that only a highly refined sense of one's culture can achieve and the series ends with An Autumn Afternoon, which is a little more lively and has one of the best bar scenes in the history of cinema. The films in SAM's tribute to one of the three masters of Japan's Golden Age of film, Yasujiro Ozu, are all beautiful and have at their core the quiet spirit of their times and places-mid-century, post-war Japan. The Films of Yasujiro Ozu: An Autumn Afternoon Ben Kenigsberg at The New York Times describes the film as "a fond portrait of how one man nurtured his artistic temperament and risked being misunderstood - sometimes by his own family."

His fourth solo album, Higher Truth, released on September 18, comes closest to sounding like the Cornell who first emerged on the Singles soundtrack song "Seasons," which is to say that it sounds like the kind of record the singer/songwriter of Soundgarden might make. Either way, he now appears determined to reverse the tendency. That may have been intentional, or a consequence of the kind of opportunities that come only to artists of a certain stature. The projects he releases are as high profile as they come-the major-label supergroup Audioslave (Cornell + Rage Against the Machine), cowriting and singing a James Bond theme ("You Know My Name" from Casino Royale), a 2009 collaborative album with Timbaland-but he has yet to develop a definitive aesthetic as a solo artist. The lead singer of Soundgarden had been cultivating his powerhouse variation on classic hard rock moves since 1984, and he clearly had the presence and prowess required to reach the widest imaginable audience.Īnd since the band's heyday subsided (they broke up in 1997, re-formed in 2010), Cornell has remained very much on the main stage. Of all the unlikely rock stars who emerged during the big wave of early-1990s Seattle, Chris Cornell probably seemed the least unlikely. This interview originally ran in September of 2015.
