More than three decades after its release, "I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got" remains the album that brought Sinéad O’Connor to international audiences and established her as one of music’s most unforgettable voices. Featuring songs including “Nothing Compares 2 U,” “The Emperor’s New Clothes,” and “Jump in the River,” the record endures through the fearlessness, vulnerability, and uncompromising spirit that defined her work. Joining us at The Loft, interdisciplinary artist Dorian Wood performs the recording in its entirety. Created as a personal and heartfelt tribute to O’Connor, this piano-and-voice performance offers an opportunity to spend an evening with one of the most celebrated releases of the 1990s and the enduring influence of Sinéad O’Connor.

Armed with a 16mm camera and a grant to make a documentary about the lingering aftermath of William Tecumseh Sherman’s 1864 march to the sea, Ross McElwee gets sidetracked. After his girlfriend breaks up with him, Ross shifts his attention from the historical to the personal, to the battlefield of modern love, and embarks on a sociological chronicle that documents the courting rites and rituals of the New South. A generous and humanistic portrait of several remarkable women that Ross meets along the way, SHERMAN’S MARCH sketches its characters with novelistic sensitivity: Pat, an aspiring actress with a yen for Burt Reynolds; Claudia, a roller-skating interior designer; Jackie, the activist whose anti-nuclear advocacy dovetails with Ross’s deepest fears; and above all, Charleen Swansea, Ross’s mentor and a one-woman Greek chorus of unsolicited romantic counsel. A landmark of first-person filmmaking that presaged everything from Michael Moore to reality TV, SHERMAN’S MARCH is now available in a new 4K restoration. SHERMAN'S MARCH screens in honor of the release of McElwee's latest film, REMAKE, which also screens at Digital Gym Cinema beginning Friday, September 4: https://digitalgym.org/movies/remake/ Digital Gym Cinema on Facebook / Instagram
