Meridian presents the SF Bay Area premiere of Intangible Asset Number 82 on Friday April 1st and Saturday April 2nd at 7:00 PM. The film follows acclaimed Australian jazz drummer Simon Barker as he searches for enigmatic Korean Shaman and master musician, Kim Seok-Chul, a man he believes to be one of the world's great improvisers. Director Emma Franz documented the journey observationally in High Definition, later utilizing the intimacy of a thought diary, various concert footage, interviews, and Super 8 elements to examine a deeper philosophical search for the tools of self-expression. The result is a layered story that provides intimate insight into the life of a creative musician, as he is inspired and transformed, and showcases music as a universal language. Both screenings feature a Q&A session with director Emma Franz and Simon Barker and a short solo performance by Simon. $15 general; $12 students
