Film: The Kenny Hall Video Project
In 2004 the Arhoolie Foundation received funding from the National Endowment for the Arts and from the California Traditional Arts Advancement Program (a program of the Fund For Folk Culture) for the Kenny Hall Project, directed by Chris Simon. Additional funding has come from the Arhoolie Foundation and the Fresno Folklore Society and matching funds were received from the Sage Foundation.

The film documents the music and life of this 80-year-old blind fiddler and mandolin player who has influenced many old-time traditionalists, and is also a unique singer and storyteller. The film has recently been completed and will be available to the public soon.
