Ghost Blues is the feature document of a musician with a significant impact on both musicians and music fans around the world, despite his untimely death at the age of 47. The documentary features rare tracks from his formative years with his first band, Taste, through Rory’s solo career as he single-handedly spearheaded the Irish rock movement, and in the process, blazed a trail for other Irish rock bands including Thin Lizzy, U2, etc. With brand new interviews from those who knew him best; Donal Gallagher (his brother and manager) and his band members, Bill Wyman (Rolling Stones) to those who he inspired to become music greats themselves -  The Edge, Johnny Marr, Slash etc, this documentary adds to Rory’s enduring legend.

Greek Premiere

Director: Dale Heslip

On 26 May we will witness, for the first time in Greece, the chronicle of Rush's  last ever tour that coincided with the band's 40 year anniversary. An emotional portrait of these iconic musicians, through their own perspective, but also all those who worked closely with them for 40 years. But above all, we see the perspective of their devoted, but often possessive, fans. Time Stand Still is an in-depth and immensely realistic behind-the-scenes look at a milestone moment in music history.

Mystify. Michael Hutchence (102’)

Athens Premiere

Australia, 2019 | 102’
Director: Richard Lowenstein

A journey into the heart and soul of Michael Hutchence, a true rock star, a complex and shy man who spent the bulk of his life in the public eye, rarely revealing his true self to anyone except his very close friends. Rare archive footage and intimate insights from friends, lovers, family, colleagues and himself, portray his life from the beginning of his fractured family background to the peaks of rock stardom and down into the depths after a freak accident in Copenhagen removed his sense of taste and smell and seriously affected his ability to deal with his unravelling personal and professional life.

A feature-length theatrical documentary written and directed by Richard Lowenstein, director of the majority of both INXS and Michael’s music videos and the 1986 feature film, Dogs in Space, in which Michael played the lead, Mystify premiered at TRIBECA FILM FESTIVAL 2019, and this is the first time it will be presented in Athens .

Α Dog Called Money (94’)

Athens Premiere 

UK, 2019 | 94’
Director: Seamus Murphy

A uniquely intimate journey through the inspiration, writing and recording of a PJ Harvey record, as imaginative as the creative process it documents.

Seeking first-hand experience of the countries she wanted to write about, Harvey accompanied award-winning photographer, director and writer Seamus Murphy, on some of his worldwide reporting trips  in Afghanistan, Kosovo, and Washington DC. Harvey collected words, Murphy collected images. Back home, the words become poems, songs, then an album, which is recorded in an unprecedented art experiment in Somerset House, London. By capturing the immediacy of their encounters with the people and places they visited, Murphy shows the humanity at the heart of the work, tracing the sources of the songs, their special metamorphosis into recorded music, and,

ultimately, cinema.
