The Festival Kick-Off features a Celebrity Host TBA, live Jazz Quintet, Exciting Film previews & SURPRISE SHORT! Followed by a MEET & GREET Reception. PARADIGM SHIFTS: Music & Film Festival combines music, performing artists and cinema to focus on and examine critical issues on the environment, indigenous cultures, eco-conservation, ancient wisdom and modern science in order to better understand our connection to the past, our responsibility to the future, and our inter-dependency with the world, its creatures and with each other. Each featured documentary film is paired with relevant music composed and performed by a wide array of multicultural artists followed by audience interactive panel discussions with the filmmakers and the performing artists.
