Nashville Film Festival shares 'Music Films' lineup

Everyone from jazz guitarist Bill Frisell to rapper Snoop Dogg will be seen on screen at this year's Nashville Film Festival.

The 48th annual fest — taking place April 20-29 — has shared details on its "Music Films/Music City" competition. The nine films hail from around the globe and celebrate a universe of sounds.

There's "The Last Songwriter," which includes appearances from Garth Brooks and Emmylou Harris, and the gangsta rap doc "G Funk," starring Snoop, Warren G and other west coast mainstays.

"Artic Superstar" follows a rapper pursuing stardom, despite speaking an endangered language, while "Cassette: A Documentary Mixtape" examines a strangely enduring audio format.

Additional films include "Bill Frisell: A Portrait," "Davi's Way," "Score: A Film Music Documentary," "Straight Into a Storm" and "Tokyo Idols."

The 48th annual Nashville Film Festival takes place April 20-29 at Regal Hollywood Stadium 27. Learn more at www.nashvillefilmfestival.org
