Jimmy Carl Black

Con la ayuda de más de 10,000 fanáticos dedicados de Zappa, este es el proyecto documental definitivo largamente esperado de Alex Winter que documenta la vida y carrera del enigmático e innovador estrella de rock Frank Zappa. Alex también utiliza en esta imagen miles de horas de videos, fotos, audio, escritura y todo lo demás cuidadosamente digitalizados de los archivos privados de Zappa. Estas crónicas nunca antes se habían presentado a una audiencia pública, hasta ahora.

Utilizing potent TV interviews and many forgotten performances from his 30-year career, we are immersed into Frank Zappa’s world while experiencing two distinct facets of his complex character. At once Zappa was both a charismatic composer who reveled in the joy of performing and, in the next moment, a fiercely intelligent and brutally honest interviewee whose convictions only got stronger as his career ascended.

Documentary about Jimmy Carl Black, the legendary drummer of Frank Zappa’s “Mothers of Invention”. He later lived in a small Bavarian village. The filmmakers followed his last two years of living and drumming and made a film about sex, drugs, Rock'n'Roll and no old age support.

In a little over an hour, 'VIDEO FROM HELL' provides a preview of current and projected Honker releases, including 'BABY SNAKES', 'THE TRUE STORY OF 200 MOTELS' and 'UNCLE MEAT' (all 1987 releases) along with segments of 1988 shows still in preparation ('YOU CAN'T DO THAT ON STAGE ANYMORE'- which will be released after the multi-CD package, 'I NEED YOUR LOVE' - the homespun philosophy of Al Malkin, and 'AN AMERICAN DISSIDENT' - the homespun philosophy of Frank Zappa).

"Viajar te vuelve loco", dice Frank Zappa, explicando que la idea de esta película se le ocurrió mientras las madres de la invención estaban de gira. La historia, intercalada con las actuaciones de las Madres y la Royal Symphony Orchestra, es una historia de la vida en el camino. Las principales preocupaciones de los miembros de la banda son la búsqueda de groupies y el deseo de cobrar.

Long considered a cult classic, "Mondo Hollywood" captures the underside of Hollywood by documenting a moment in time (1965-67), when an inquisitive trust in the unknown was paramount, hope for the future was tangible and life was worth living on the fringe. An interior monologue narrative approach is used throughout the film, where each principal person shown not only decided on what they wanted to be filmed doing, but also narrated their own scenes. The film opens with Gypsy Boots (the original hippie vegan - desert hopping blender salesman), and stripper Jennie Lee, working out 'Watusi-style' beneath the 'Hollywood' sign -- leading into the 'sustainable community' insight of Lewis Beach Marvin III, the S&H Green Stamp heir, who lived in a $10 a month garage while owning a mountain retreat in Malibu.
