Saxophonist and Richmond native Plunky Branch, left, participates in a panel discussion last Friday about legendary jazz musician John Coltrane following a screening of documentary filmmaker John Scheinfeld’s “Chasing Trane.” The film and discussion were part of the three-day Afrikana Independent Film Festival held at a variety of Richmond venues. Joining Mr. Branch on the panel are poet Lorna Pinckney, a Richmond open-mic poetry hostess, and Talib Kweli, a Brooklyn, N.Y.,-based hip-hop artist and DJ.
