Explore a vida e obra de Frank Zappa, com a permissão da família e acesso aos arquivos pessoais.

The son of a junkie aristocrat and a schizophrenic showgirl becomes a master of reinvention on a 50+ year journey through rock and roll, TV, and movies.

A Frank Zappa show goes way beyond a mere concert – it is an experience…a flight of improvisation, musicianship, and cerebral cynicism. An unparalleled Composer and Guitarist, Zappa redefined rock n roll paradigms by introducing into the mix his favorite influences from classical music, jazz, blues, doowop, traditional and non-traditional music. And he did so with unparalleled humor and audacity. But it was the music itself that influenced generations of musicians and, quite frankly, blew minds. Roxy: The Movie, filmed over three nights in December 1973, at the Roxy Theatre in Hollywood, CA, is a powerful display of this experience, and reveals what made him such a pioneering musical revolutionary.

Emerging from the Detroit music scene of the 1970s in a flurry of long hair and sequins, Alice Cooper restored hard rock with a sense of showmanship, while simultaneously striking fear into the hearts of Middle America with the chicken-slaughtering, dead-baby-eating theatrics that would cement his identity as a glam metal icon. Meticulously crafted from rare archival footage, Super Duper Alice Cooper tells the story of the man behind the makeup, Vincent Furnier, the son of a preacher, who got caught in the grip of his own monster.

It all started with a carton at an auction... In 2007, a collector of rock memorabilia bought a carton of vintage records, posters, concert ephemera, and an old film reel at an auction in Europe. When he got home, he examined the contents and saw the 8mm film labeled "Black Man". He borrowed a projector and discovered the unbelievable truth: The man was Jimi Hendrix. After authenticating the image as best he could, the collector found Vivid, and a vast investigation was launched. A group of Hendrix experts and historians directed Vivid to two girls who knew the artist intimately: Cynthia "Plaster Caster", who personally cast Jimi's penis in plaster, along with Pamela Des Barres, the world famous "supergroupie".

If you've ever wondered about the sexual proclivities and appetites of those rollerskating waitresses at old fashioned fast food drive ins, you're surely not alone. A lot of very smart people have given it a lot of thought and the result is this groundbreaking motion picture. Carrying trays of burgers and milkshakes is just the tip of the iceberg, from there it gets heavy. Can you handle it?

"Touring makes you crazy," Frank Zappa says, explaining that the idea for this film came to him while the Mothers of Invention were touring. The story, interspersed with performances by the Mothers and the Royal Symphony Orchestra, is a tale of life on the road. The band members' main concerns are the search for groupies and the desire to get paid.

The Documentary centers around Zappa at home, and on Tour. The amazing thing is that Zappa allowed a guy with a camera to film the band at the Fillmore West w/ Flo and Eddie. There are times when the camera man seems to be on the stage. The performance is recorded from only one camera angle. There are only 4-5 songs presented here.....and Zappa referring to the Fillmore West as the ‘Psychedelic Dungeon’ is priceless………..It is a great piece of history.

This documentary on rock 'n' roll groupies, including the infamous Plaster Casters, features performances (musical) by such bands as Ten Years After, Terry Reid, Spooky Tooth, and Cat Mother.

Plot unknown but described as a rock 'n' roll western. Shot in Times Square during New Years Eve of 1973. Possibly unreleased.
