DOC NYC 2016

The 2016 DOC NYC Festival happens from November 12 – 19 and includes a number of music films on this year’s roster, including Peelander-Z’s Mad Tiger and Miss Sharon Jones!. Other screenings include: the US premiere of Blur: New World Towers (11/15 @ SVA Theatre) which follows the band as they make this year’s The Magic Whip; the NYC premiere of  Theory of Obscurity: A Film About the Residents (11/14 @ IFC Center) which peeks behind the curtain (but not the masks) of one of the most enigmatic and weird groups ever; and Janis Joplin documentary, Janis: Little Blue Girl (11/15 @ SVA Theatre). There are also screenings of Amy and Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck, a 45th anniversary screening of Rolling Stones doc Gimme Shelter, and more.

There’s lots more than music, obviously, at DOC NYC and you can check out their full 2016 lineup and schedule. Tickets and passes are on sale now.
