Fiddlin' (2018)

Fiddlin’: Directed by Julie Simone. With Presley Barker, Wayne C. Henderson, Kitty Amaral, Dori Freeman. Fiddlin’ is a foot-stomping celebration of true Americana and artistic expression. This hopeful, inspiring Old-Time/ Bluegrass music documentary shines a light on what is best about America. Filmed in the Appalachian Mountains at the World’s Oldest Fiddler’s Convention, Fiddlin’ shows the uplifting and healing power of music. With multi-generations jamming together and kids holding instruments instead of phones, it feels like taking a step back in time as we witness some off-the-charts pickin’ and fiddlin’.

“A joyful, multi-textured time-machine journey, full of engaging old-timers and astonishing young virtuosos who live in (and thus keep alive) the fast finger, flatfooting community of old-time and bluegrass musicians. Beautifully shot and cleverly edited itu0026#39;s a joyful postcard of Americana created by a warmhearted team of women filmmakers. What a hug!”
