The Soul Of A Man (Wim Wenders): Director Wim Wenders explores the lives of his favourite blues artists - Skip James, Blind Willie Johnson and J.B Lenoir - in a film that is part history and part personal pilgrimage. The film tells the story of these artists' lives in music through a fictional film-within-a-film, rare archival footage and covers of their songs by contempory musicians. Piano Blues (Clint Eastwood): Director and piano player Clint Eastwood explores his life long passion for piano blues, using a treasure trove of rare historical footage in addition to interviews and performances by living legends.

Warming By The Devil's Fire (Charles Burnett): Director Charles Burnett presents a tale about a young boy's encounter with his family in Mississippi in the 1950s, and intergenerational tensions between the heavenly strains of gospel and the devillish moans of the blues. Godfathers And Sons (Marc Levin): Director Marc Levin travels to Chicago with hip-hop legend Chuck D (Public Enemy) and Marshall Chess (son of Leonard Chess and heir to the Chess Records legacy) to explore the heyday of Chicago blues, as they unite to produce an album that brings veteran blues players together with contemporary hip hop musicians.
