Catching Fire: the Story of Anita Pallenberg
Plus Q&A with Marlon Richards
Focus on the Documentary
This intimate documentary reveals the story of a fierce rock 'n' roller, actress, muse and mother who rose to prominence in the 1960s and 1970s.
Plus Q&A with Marlon Richards
Anita Pallenberg was at many points in her life a newspaper headline: a "rock n' roll goddess," a "voodoo priestess," and an "evil seductress." She was accused of trying to break up the Rolling Stones, among other things.
But those who loved her considered her an exciting cultural force, and a loving mother - and innocent of the accusations. Never-seen-before home movies and family photographs explore life with the Rolling Stones and tell a bittersweet tale of both triumph and heartbreak. From ‘Barbarella’ to the Swiss Alps, and the Lower East Side to London, Anita Pallenberg was a creative force ahead of her time.
This has a perfect balance of heart, soul and humor that resonates within its core and just makes for some enjoyable and informative viewing.
We are delighted to welcome Marlon Richards, son of Anita Pallenberg and Keith Richards, for a Q&A after the Saturday screening.
