- Read More 17th PHILADELPHIA FILM FESTIVAL MUSICALLY EXPLODES WITH OPENING AND CLOSING NIGHT FILMS
Plunging the viewer into the philosophy and artistry of cult rocker, New Jersey-based Patti Smith, director Steven Sebring spent a quarter of his life framing Smith in his lens. The result: an engrossing portrait of a legendary singer, artist and poet that explores the themes of spirituality, history and self expression. Considered the ‘Godmother of Punk’, Smith emerged in the 1970’s galvanizing the music scene with her unique style of poetic rage, music and trademark swagger. Narrated by Smith, we follow this multitalented and private artist over 11 years of international travel, through her spoken words, performances, lyrics, interviews, paintings and photographs. Special guest Patti Smith will be attending Closing Night! - Read More 2008 ACADEMY AWARD NOMINEES AT SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL
