LISTENING TO KENNY G

LISTENING TO KENNY G

OPENING NIGHT FILM

NYC PREMIERE Smooth-jazz artist Kenny G is beloved by millions for songs like “Songbird” and “Silhouette,” but the curly-haired performer also came to symbolize what people hate about elevator music, making him the butt of jokes from The Simpsons to South Park. Filmmaker Penny Lane (Hail Satan?) takes a witty and provocative approach to tell Kenny G’s story while asking a bigger question: what makes music good or bad? The results are “ruthlessly entertaining” (Variety).  

This screening will be followed by a Q&A with Director Penny Lane, Producer Gabriel Sedgwick, Film Subject Kenny G

All guests & staff will be required to comply with our Health & Safety protocols while attending DOC NYC events. For the latest information, please review our policies here.
