Documentary On KURT COBAIN To Get Theatrical Release

July 26, 2007

Launch Radio Networks reports: Director A.J. Schnack has posted a message at his online blog announcing that "Kurt Cobain: About A Son", Schnack's documentary about the late NIRVANA frontman, will open in New York City on October 3, Los Angeles on October 5 and Seattle on October 10. According to The Daily Swarm, the screenings will allow the film to meet Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences requirements to be considered for the upcoming Oscar nominations, which stipulate that a film must be screened theatrically at least once during the year of nomination.

The film will play in New York at the IFC Center, in Los Angeles at the Nuart Theatre and in Seattle at the Varsity Theatre.

"Kurt Cobain: About A Son" consists of footage of the three Washington state towns where Cobain lived — Aberdeen, Olympia, and Seattle — overlaid with recordings of his voice. The recordings are from a series of interviews done by journalist Michael Azerrad for his book "Come As You Are".

The movie's score was co-written by DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE frontman Ben Gibbard. A soundtrack album will be released on September 11.

Watch a minute-long clip from the film below.
