Joan Baez I Am A Noise is a raw and intimate  portrait of legendary folk singer and activist, Joan Baez.  This immersive documentary, moving back and forth through time as it follows Joan on her farewell tour, presents an extraordinary compilation from her personal archive, including newly discovered home movies, diaries, artwork, therapy tapes, and audio recordings.  Throughout the film, Baez is remarkably revealing about her life on and off stage – from her lifelong emotional struggles to her civil rights work with Martin Luther King 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.

Starring:  Joan Baez, Mimi Farina, Bob Dylan, David Harris

Immediate Family is the story of the four brilliant session musicians, guitarists Danny Kortchmar and Waddy Wachtel, drummer Russ Kunkel, and bassist Leland Sklar, who worked with the biggest singer/songwriter, folk-rock stars of the 1970s and beyond.  Together, they created the “Singer/Songwriter sound,” playing the backline for such iconic artists as: James Taylor, Carole King, Jackson Browne, Linda Ronstadt, Warren Zevon, as well as Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, several Eagles (Joe Walsh, Glenn Frey, Don Henley) and Rolling Stones (Keith Richards, Bill Wyman, Mick Jagger), and Ringo Starr, Bob Dylan, Bob Seger, Harry Nilsson, J.D. Souther, Randy Newman, Joni Mitchell, Rod Stewart, Hall & Oates, and Bonnie Raitt.  The list is virtually endless.  Featuring a soundtrack comprising excerpts from 72 selections, Immediate Family is a fascinating portrait of how this timeless music was made and is a joyful and revealing documentary.
