SCARED TO DANCE

We are thrilled to announce that we are hosting a special preview of In Restless Dreams: The Music of Paul Simon at our film night on Thursday 10th October at Hackney Picturehouse.

Host Paul Richards will be introducing the new film by Oscar-winning director Alex Gibney.

In Restless Dreams: The Music of Paul Simon is the definitive musical biography of Paul Simon, one of the greatest songwriters (and performers) in the history of rock ‘n’ roll. Granted unprecedented access to the making of a new album, the filmmakers also show never before seen footage of Simon’s extraordinary career, from Simon & Garfunkel to the phenomenal global success of Simon’s solo album Graceland.

Rarely seen or heard footage of Simon on his own in England in 1964, outtakes from Songs of America, a 16mm documentary from 1969, and early rehearsal videos from his first days jamming with musicians in Johannesburg are featured in the film. Wynton Marsalis, Lorne Michaels and Simon’s wife, Edie Brickell offer important insights about the man and his music.

Tickets are now on sale.
