Music-based films take up only a sliver of the overall roster at the Sept. 30-Oct. 6 festival. Among narrative highlights, the festival will wrap up with A24’s “The Humans,”’s adaptation of his Tony Award-winning play, with Karam and other guests from the film in attendance.
The hybrid model includes one key event that will be online-only this year, the two-day Creators Conference Oct. 1-2, with virtual guests to include filmmaker Kirsten Johnson, producer Peter Gilbert and composers Leo Sirdan and Joe Kraemer, among many others. The official selections in the music documentary category are “a-ha The Movie,” about the Norwegian sensations who found fame in the ’80s with “Take on Me”; “I’m Wanita,” about an Australian country singer trying to make her way to Nashville; and “Fanny: The Right to Rock” , about the all-female rock band that released its first major-label effort in 1970, paving the way for bands like the Runaways and Go-Go’s.
Among the filmmakers or stars scheduled to attend the festival, besides Hiatt, Douglas and the Brian Wilson doc’s creative principals, are actor Tim Blake Nelson, who’ll bring “Old Henry,” an action Western; CJ Hunt, director of the documentary “The Neutral Ground”; and Júlia Parés, writer of “The Return: Life After Isis.”
