Jarmusch's episodic ode to rock 'n' roll, Mystery Train, and a quirky series of shorts.

Set in Memphis, Mystery Train follows two young Japanese tourists as they make a pilgrimage to the shrines of rock 'n' roll. With Screamin' Jay Hawkins. (1989; 110 mins.)

The silent comedy The High Sign is, according to Jarmusch, "one of my favorite two-reelers by one of my favorite directors (and actors)...Buster Keaton." (1921; 20 mins.)

Jarmusch describes Pull My Daisy as a "Beat-generation classic...one of the coolest, most human films ever made." With Allen Ginsberg, Gregory Corso, and voiceover by Jack Kerouac.(Robert Frank/Alfred Leslie, 1959; 30 mins.)

Presented with support from the Ohio Arts Council.
