Folkstreams.net provides documentary films about American folk culture, streamed over the internet. It's an amazing thing.
I notice two films that fans of the New Lost City Ramblers may enjoy. Mike Seeger's documentary about oldtime dancing styles -- Talking Feet: Solo Southern Dance: Buck, Flatfoot and Tap -- is available here.
And then there's a movie about the making of John Cohen's classic film about Kentucky singers. This "making of" film is called Remembering the High Lonesome and is available here.
There's also a film that seems to be a kind of update of Cohen's documentary film work in KY in the 1960's.
