Music & Film

Bang! The Bert Berns Story

You are of course familiar with the legendary songs "Twist and Shout", "Piece of my Heart" and "Brown Eyed Girl". What you're not familiar with is the man who inspired them: one of the greatest recording artists of the `60s, a man who managed to create 51 global hits in just 7 years. Despite the fact that his artistic trajectory was unluckier than Sixto "Sugarman" Rodriguez's, now is the time to discover Bert Berns and his adventurous life, as it is meshed with the history of American pop, rock and soul music in a thrilling hour and a half.

Gary Numan: Android in La La Land

A disarmingly honest and incisive record of the Gary Numan pop phenomenon, Bowie's alien successor who put synthesizers on the charts. Alongside his return thanks to the "Splinter" album in 2014, prepare for an epic flashback to his provocative talent, as well his zig-zagging career.

Hired Gun

The session musicians who are responsible for 80% of the records released in the U.S., finally come out of the shadows and stand proudly in the limelight. Between breathless solos and groovy beats, find out how anthems such as Michael Jackson's "Beat It" were really created, learn for the first time what Ozzy Osbourne and his musicians went through after the death of the hugely important Randy Rhoads, and travel back to the days after the tragic death of Metallica's legendary Cliff Burton. Starring Alice Cooper, Jason Newsted, Pink, Steve Vai, Rob Zombie etc.

Strike a Pose

What exactly happened "In Bed with Madonna"? 25 years after the now legendary Blond Ambition Tour, which taught the whole world how to Vogue, the Pop Queen's dancers go back for another round of "Truth or Dare", this time in front of an audience. Secrets and revelations about the Material Girl, whispered by Madonna's "orphaned" children.

Eat That Question: Frank Zappa in his Own Words

He saw himself as "a normal guy with a wife, children and many unpaid bills". We all know, though, that Frank Zappa was one of the most revolutionary figures in contemporary music and this is the film that he deserves: an untamed audiovisual patch-up, made out of many miles of archival footage and eight whole years of research, that manages to cram into 90 dizzying minutes the impressive fragments of the life and career of an unrepentant pop culture troublemaker.
