ARI BENJAMIN MEYERS (*1972 in Long Island, New York, lives and works in Berlin) presents his latest film, Marshall Allen, 99, Astronaut, in the newly opened cinema at the Remise. The film is dedicated to the 100-year-old saxophonist Marshall Allen, leader of the Sun Ra Arkestra. Meyers explores how Allen responds to two original compositions he created for him. Through music, Allen engages in an intimate conversation about spontaneity, collaboration, and the challenges of rehearsing. The film weaves a musical and visual narrative that honors Allen’s life and Sun Ra’s visionary art.
