Athenian Premiere
U.S.A, 2021 | 118’
Directed by: Dan Lindsay, T.J. Martin
An intimate and revealing look at the life of Tina Turner and how her story of survival impacted both the public and herself.
TINA is the ultimate celebration of a global superstar and an intimate portrait of a woman who overcame extreme adversity to define her career, her identity and her legacy on her own terms.
From her early career as the queen of R&B to her record-breaking sell-out arena tours of the ’80s, Tina Turner draws back the curtain to invite us into her private world in a way she has never done before.
Revealing her inner-most struggles, and sharing some of her most personal moments, TINA is the defining and inspirational record of one of the greatest survivors in modern music.
Directed by Academy Award and EMMY Winners Dan Lindsay & TJ Martin, TINA is the ultimate chronicle of the life and career of one of the biggest survivors in music, through her own valuable narration and rare footage from the various stages of her career.

PJ Harvey: A Dog Called Money
Athenian Premiere
UK, 2019 | 94'
Directed by: Seamus Murphy
As imaginative as the creative process it documents, A DOG CALLED MONEY is a uniquely intimate journey through the inspiration, writing and recording of a PJ Harvey record.
Writer and musician Harvey and award-winning photographer Seamus Murphy, hatched a collaboration. Seeking first-hand experience of the countries she wanted to write about, Harvey accompanied Murphy on some of his worldwide reporting
trips, joining him 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. Murphy exclusively documents the experiment with the same forensic vision and private access as their travels. 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.
