Join Ethels in celebrating 20 years of great cinema in Akaroa as we acknowledge the contribution made by Maxine and Jim Marron, Jimi Hendrix's Studio Manager. This brand new documentary features never-before-seen footage and photos of the Electric Lady Studios providing a first hand look inside Jim's world. Tickets are $50pp and include canapés and bubbly. Proceeds from this event will help toward the ongoing running costs of our beloved community cinema.
The critically acclaimed, full-length documentary Electric Lady Studios: A Jimi Hendrix Vision, chronicles the creation of the studio, rising from the rubble of a bankrupt Manhattan nightclub to state-of-the-art recording facility inspired by Hendrix’s desire for a permanent studio.
Produced by Janie Hendrix, George Scott and John McDermott and directed by McDermott, the film features exclusive interviews with Steve Winwood, Experience bassist Billy Cox, and original Electric Lady staff members who helped Hendrix realize his dream.
The documentary includes never-before-seen footage and photos as well as track breakdowns of Hendrix classics such as “Freedom", "Angel” and “Dolly Dagger” by recording engineer Eddie Kramer.
