Film: AFI Music Documentary Series
The Arclight Theaters in Los Angeles are smack dab in the middle of the 7th annual AFI Music Documentary Series (running April 2 – May 7). If you’re from LA, you know that the Arclight Theaters are something of a mecca for movie lovers; comfy reserved seating, shorter previews, and a full bar all make it a top-notch place to catch a flick. In it’s 7th year running, the AFI Music Doc Series is screening an eclectic crop of new and old music documentaries to satiate your hunger for musical knowledge. The series kicked off with Glass: A Portrait of Philip in Twelve Parts, an in depth look at a year in the life of the minimalist composer. So far, the series has screened the Beatles Help!, the Red Hot Chili Peppers Untitled Documentary, and our personal favorite so far, Young@Heart (see our review here or better yet, just go see the movie).
