From BAFTA award­-winning director Asif Kapadia (SENNA), AMY will screen at the Camden Opera House at 7 p.m. Wednesday, August 19th, as the last of the Camden International Film Festival’s monthly CIFF Selects documentary series.

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, Amy Winehouse was a musician who captured the world’s attention. A pure jazz artist in the most authentic sense, she wrote and sang from the heart, using her musical gifts to analyze her own problems. The combination of her raw honesty and supreme talent resulted in some of the most unique and adored songs of today. Her huge success, however, resulted in relentless and invasive media attention. This, coupled with Amy’s troubled relationships and precarious lifestyle, saw her life tragically begin to unravel. Amy Winehouse died from alcohol poisoning in July 2011 at the age of 27.

Camden International Film Festival and the Camden Opera House, in partnership with SundanceNow Doc Club, are bringing CIFF Selects documentaries to Camden one Wednesday each month through August—sometimes including Q&A sessions with the filmmakers. The films shown include selections from the SundanceNow Doc Club, an online platform for the world’s best documentarians, including many CIFF alumni. The aim is to give CIFF’s audience the chance to watch great films year-round.

This is the final CIFF Selects screening for this season. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased on the day of show at the Camden Opera House box office. The box office opens at 6 p.m.

Passes are also now on sale for the 2015 Camden International Film Festival (September 17 – 20) at www.camdenfilmfest.org.
