other cinema: MELINDA STONE’S HOMESTEAD HOE-DOWN + THE GOAT FAMILY +

Come one, come all to a down-home hootenanny of movies, tastings, song, and dance. Howtohomestead.org provides the films and fixin’s to start the benefit night right, and before all seats are cleared for The Goat Family, dishing up foot stomping dance tunes and joyous sing-alongs. Melinda debuts new DIY shorts, including Spinning Out of Control, Wheat for the People (with live music by Didimao), Maya Donelson’s Graze the Roof, Mariana Lopez’ How to Make a Milk-Crate Container Bed, and more surprises. The Goat Family, a nuevo-traditional jug band whose influences range from Leadbelly to Nirvana to The Pogues, then rolls out their barrel of old-timey exuberance and infectious butt-shaking. *10.
