From BAFTA award-winning director Asif Kapadia and the team behind Senna, AMY tells the incredible story of six-time Grammy-winner Amy Winehouse – in her own words. Featuring extensive unseen archive footage and previously unheard tracks, this strikingly modern, moving and vital film shines a light on the world we live in, in a way that very few can.
A once-in-a-generation talent and a pure jazz artist in the most authentic sense, Amy wrote and sung from the heart using her musical gifts to analyse her own problems. The combination of her raw honesty and supreme talent resulted in some of the most original and adored songs of the modern era. Her huge success, however, resulted in relentless and invasive media attention which coupled with Amy’s troubled relationships and precarious lifestyle saw her life tragically begin to unravel.
Winner of Documentary of the Year at this year’s Hollywood Film Awards and nominated for many others, Amy is being hailed as a serious contender for this year’s Oscar for Best Documentary Feature.
The short film Olena was shown before the main feature.
