JOAN BAEZ I AM A NOISE is an unusually intimate psychological portrait of legendary folk singer and activist Joan Baez. Neither a conventional biopic nor a traditional concert film, this immersive documentary shifts back and forth through time as it follows Baez on her final tour and delves into her extraordinary archive, including newly discovered home movies, diaries, artwork, therapy tapes and audio recordings. Throughout the film, Baez is remarkably revealing about her life onstage and off — from her lifelong emotional struggles to her civil rights work with Martin Luther King Jr. and a heartbreaking romance with a young Bob Dylan. A searingly honest look at a living legend, this film is a compelling and deeply personal exploration of an iconic artist who has never told the full truth of her life, as she experienced it, until now. DIR/PROD Miri Navasky, Karen O’Connor; DIR Maeve O’Boyle. U.S., 2023, color, 113 min. NOT RATED
Official film trailer at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhcV1gEat_c
At AFI/Silver Theatre Tuesday evening April 8. The film begins at 6:45pm, but Village members will buy their tickets and meet at 6:30 in the theatre lobby, so we can sit together.
