Vidiots is excited to welcome director Jeff Feuerzeig and producer Henry S. Rosenthal for a special 20th Anniversary screening of their groundbreaking documentary The Devil and Daniel Johnston.
Hi, how are you? One of the most thoughtful documentaries about creativity and mental-health ever made, this entertaining and ectsatically imaginative film sings with a heartfelt portrait of a brilliant, but tortured artist. Filmmaker Jeff Feuerzeig chronicles the life of a manic-depressive musician and artist, using a blend of home movies, Johnston’s own audiotapes, vintage performances and current footage. Johnston has recorded more than 10 full-length albums and amassed a prolific portfolio of sketches, and has among his supporters Matt Groening, David Bowie, Sonic Youth, Beck, and Tom Waits. Raw, riveting, and reverent – this portrait of madness and music will leave you captivated from beginning to end.
