Dingo

Dingo

Arizona International Film Festival program film description: A huge cargo jet is diverted to the tiny Australian outback town of Poona Flat. On board is legendary jazz trumpeter, Billy Cross (Miles Davis in his only film appearance as an actor), who decides to make the best of the unscheduled layover by giving an impromptu concert. The music that rises from the runway and rolls across the desert has a profound effect on young John Anderson. Twenty years later, John who traps wily dingoes by day and plays trumpet in a "bush band" at night, is forced to choose between his family and his lifelong dream of playing alongside his idol, Billy Cross. A captivating soundtrack composed espe­cially for the film by Miles Davis and Michel Legrand.
