The American Cinematheque, Drafthouse Films, Beyond Fest and Goldenvoice presents 20,000 Days on Earth: An evening with Nick Cave.
The American Cinematheque, Drafthouse Films, Beyond Fest and Goldenvoice presents 20,000 Days on Earth and an intimate solo performance by Nick Cave.
Fusing cinematic drama with reality by weaving a fictitious 24-hour journey through the life of musician and international cultural icon Nick Cave, the film is an intimate portrayal of the artistic process that speaks volumes to music fans, the art community and movie lovers alike. The debut directorial feature film of visual artists Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard, the film, which opens theatrically on September 17, 2014 is set to an original score by Nick Cave and fellow Bad Seeds band mate Warren Ellis.
With startlingly frank insights and an intimate portrayal of the artistic process, the genre-defying film examines what makes us who we are, and celebrates the transformative power of the creative spirit. The film made its World Premiere at this year's Sundance Film Festival, where it was awarded both "Best Directing" and "Best Editing" Awards in the World Cinema Documentary category.
Andrew O'Hehir of Salon.com calls it "gorgeous and hauntingan unclassifiable and frequently spectacular documentary." Rob Nelson of Variety says "simply astounding, razor sharp, dynamic" while Michael Dunaway of Paste Magazine proclaims, "just spending an hour and a half or so inside the mind of Nick Cave would be fascinating enough. But the themes of time and lifetime, and the 20,000-day take on it, make this one a must-see."
The screening will be followed by an intimate audience-based conversation and a rare, solo piano performance by Nick Cave in which he will play a number of songs from his extensive catalog.
Doors open at 7 PM, 20,000 Days on Earth screens at 8 PM with Nick Cave taking the stage immediately after the film finishes. Attendees will also be able to purchase an exclusive, limited edition commemorative event poster designed by Mondo artist and art director, Rob Jones.
