New Releases Now Playing


ZAPPA
Documentary | USA | 2020

There has yet to be a film about the life and times of the brilliant and genuinely maverick musician Frank Zappa. Director Alex Winter and his team have crafted a documentary from over a thousand hours of mostly unseen material from Zappa’s personal vault. ZAPPA is an expansive and intimate portrait of an extraordinary artist who was also fully engaged with the turbulent politics of his day.

 

EXCLUSIVE BONUS: Immediately following the film we've included a live Zappa performance and backstage footage, released from the Zappa vaults for the first time. This bonus footage is exclusive to our virtual cinema engagement and not available anywhere else.

What begins as a seeming expose into the tragic Bucharest nightclub fire of 2015 gradually turns into something deeper and more shocking in this heartrending and revelatory documentary. "One of the greatest movies about journalism and the dark forces it confronts....plays like a gripping real-time thriller." - Indie Wire (closed captions available)

EXCLUSIVE BONUS: Immediately following the film there wil be a pre-recorded discussion between filmmaker Alexander Nanau and ROLLING STONE critic Kameron Austin Collins.  This conversation is exclusive to virtual cinema engagements.
