Ches Smith

A musical documentary celebrating the life and work of glam rock pioneer Marc Bolan, combined with a behind-the-scenes look at the tribute album of the same name.

Director Dmitry Lavrinenko, famous for his documentary about the rock band Auktyon (АукцЫон) "Encore", mounts the story of Fedorov from images equally momentary and eternal, and stories at the same time everyday and worldly. Phantoms and chronicles, tales about recording the first solo album in an unheated Lendok studio, a confessional story about the death of his father, memories of meeting Henri Volokhonsky and Khvost (Aleksei Khvostenko), who scared dad with his complete freedom from reality, drinking vodka at a meeting with grateful and not very listeners. Behind the mosaic painting is a whole story about the thorny path of the artist, the courage to leave the comfort zone and spiritual poetry, which the film is looking for a visual equivalent.

Bonus DVD of "Women As Lovers" containing tour films and 16 music videos.

An hourlong documentary film about the making of Ches Smith's ambitious new album, Path of Seven Colors. Haitian traditions inspire the percussionist's exhilarating hybrid of melodic drums, evocative vocals and fiery improvisation.
