Saturday Matinee – The Flying Sailor, Swamp Ratz & Lonnie Brooks

The Flying Sailor (2022) is a short film by Amanda Forbis & Wendy Tilby:
“In 1917 two ships collided in the Halifax Harbour, causing the largest accidental explosion in history. Among the tragic stories of the disaster is the remarkable account of a sailor who, blown skyward from the docks, flew a distance of 2 kilometres before landing uphill, naked and unharmed. The Flying Sailor is a contemplation of his journey.”

  1. Hey, I like that neo-rockabilly from the Swamp Ratz. Maybe you would like some protopunk from the Swamp Rats, a mid sixties band from McKeesport, PA (Pittsburgh suburb). They were one of my favorites back in the day.
