White Stripes and Doors Documentaries Storm LFF

• 20th Oct 2009

Tom Dicillo's documentary “When You're Strange: A Film about the Doors” has already taken to the screens at the London Film Festival in the past week. It may be a festival devoted to film, but that doesn't exclude the subject ever being about music!

The LFF quite often manages to screen some of the bigger and better music documentaries going. The past has seen the likes of Ondi Timoner's “Dig!” which introduced the Brian Jonestown Massacre to a whole new audience. It has also screened the likes of Metallica's “Some Kind of Monster” which notoriously saw the band going into therapy whilst recording their St Anger album.

Also on the bill this year is the inclusion of “The White Stripes Under Great White Northern lights” which focuses on they bands extensive tour across all of Canada.

The London Film Festival is on until 29th October.
