About the event

Join Bankie Banx and the film's director Nara Garber for a special screening of Bankie Banx: King of the Dune followed by a conversation moderated by Bankie's son Olaide Banks. We invite you to submit your questions in the chat during and after the screening, and we'll answer as many as we can get to! We'll donate our cut of the ticket sales from this event to the Anguilla Music Academy, a state of the art recording studio and non-profit educational center that has introduced students of all ages and backgrounds to the art of music performance, production, and engineering since 2015.

And if the timing of this screening doesn't work for you or you aren't interested in a post-screening Q&A, the film is also available on demand for $4.99 from Saturday, January 11th to Sunday, January 12th HERE.

About the film

Bankie Banx: King of the Dune celebrates the life and music of the Anguillian singer-songwriter known by many as “the Bob Dylan of the Caribbean.” Growing up on an undeveloped island where necessity often dictated life choices, young Bankie made his first guitar and voraciously soaked up everything from British top 40 and folk to Rastafarianism and the Pan-Africanism of Walter Rodney. In 1978 he released his first album, and his breakout hit “Prince of Darkness” put both Bankie and Anguilla on the map. After a decade of touring and battling industry executives determined to pigeonhole his sound, Bankie came home and created the Moonsplash music festival and the Dune Preserve – a beach bar, performance venue, and de facto kingdom. World class musicians and audiences must now come to him. With a guitar in one hand and a joint in the other, Bankie continues to make music while enjoying a degree of self-determination most artists only dream of.
