Documentary Film Screenings @ THE FILM SOCIETY OF LINCOLN CENTER (NY): “Sound + Vision,” July 26 – August 1, 2013

Sound + Vision is an homage to the people who create our music, who struggle and work to have it heard and, when they succeed, help us connect with one another. From journeys of personal discovery and pure celebrations of sound to music as a form of social and political rebellion, these documentaries reveal the tenacity and dedication of the people who devote their life to song.

Established in Detroit in 1974. Death is one of Rock-N-Roll’s most unique and inspiring bands. Three brothers who played some of the hardest-driving Rock-N-Roll and recorded a now classic album in 1975. Rejected for their sound, their name, and their color, 34 years later the band Death began receiving what is now world-wide recognition for the Rock-N-Roll music they created in Detroit throughout the seventies. Their music and message is universal, and the sound of Death is unique and tight! The new Death album tracks have just been completed for an exciting array of new Death music to be presented in the upcoming 2013/14 season.
