CLOSING NIGHT SESSION: SUNDAY 14 SEPTEMBER 8:30 – 10PM (MAIN CINEMA)
Song Sung Blue NSW PREMIERE
USA / 2008 / 87:30mins / dir. GREG KOHS
The story of a couple once on the precipice of fame…sort of.
Song Sung Blue is a documentary feature film that tells the alternately inspiring and tragic love story of Lightning & Thunder. Trading as the Neil Diamond tribute band Lightning & Thunder, husband and wife Michael and Claire Sardina once more or less shared a stage with Pearl Jam, and almost became world-class rock-stars in their Milwaukee hometown. But true fame eluded them in their 20-year career.
Rather than a standard white-bread-to-celeb rockumentary, Song Sung Blue takes a tragi-comic look at the delusion of celebrity, and the blinding appeal of the American Dream. Winner of both the Best Documentary and the Audience Award at this year’s Slamdance Film Festival. “Dysfunction and delusion run rife through a stranger-than-fiction saga that starts out kitschily amusing, then finds drama and pathos in its subjects’ rather hapless progress.” – Variety.
(Song Sung Blue has won: Audience Award, Slamdance 2008; Grand Jury Award Slamdance 2008; Grand Jury Award, Philadelphia International Film Festival 2008; Grand Jury Award IFF Boston 2008; Melb International Film Festival 2008).
