The Center of Nowhere: The Spirit and Sounds of Springfield, Mo. @ 27th Annual Whitaker St. Louis International Film Festival
(Dave Hoekstra, U.S., 2018, 90 min.)
The Center of Nowhere is not just about music but about a sense of place: how atmosphere, environment, history, and even foodways inform the artistic muse around Springfield, Mo. At the heart of the film is the late performer and producer Lou Whitney, whose bands the Skeletons and Morells earned a devoted St. Louis following and backed such performers as Jonathan Richman, Dave Alvin, Robbie Fulks, Syd Straw, and Steve Forbert. The film also explores the legacy of the Springfield-based Ozark Jubilee, the first television show to broadcast country music across America, and such legendary Springfield songwriters as Wayne Carson (the Box Tops The Letter) and Ronnie Self (Brenda Lees Im Sorry).
With director Dave Hoekstra and a musical performance by singer/songwriter Abbey Waterworth, who performs iconic songs with Springfield roots.
Shows with the short Lingua Francas (Bret Hoy, Denmark/U.S., 2018, 13 min.): Daniel Ernce, who once worked in a Michelin-starred restaurant in Copenhagen, Denmark, and now runs a ticketed pop-up restaurant in Springfield, Mo., describes the challenge of communicating his vision for the region.
