JIMI HENDRIX ON THE BIG SCREEN, DOCUMENTARY FEATURING PAUL MCCARTNEY

Jimi Hendrix: Electric Church in select theaters around the world. The film : with a special Q&A with director John McDermott, legendary record producer and engineer Eddie Kramer (best known for not only collaborating with Hendrix but also with The Beatles, David Bowie, Eric Clapton, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones and others) and Jimi’s sister and Experience Hendrix CEO Janie Hendrix. The much-lauded documentary, which originally aired on Showtime, tells the story of the Jimi Hendrix Experience’s involvement as the headliner of the Second Atlanta International Pop Festival, then hailed as the ‘Southern Woodstock.’

 
 
The 89-minute film features interviews with Hendrix’s former bandmates, Billy Cox and Mitch Mitchell, in addition to notable artists including Paul McCartney, Susan Tedeschi, Derek Trucks, Rich Robinson, Metallica’s Kirk Hammett, and some of the famous guitarist’s sound engineers including acclaimed rock producer Eddie Kramer and Abe Jacob.
 

Jimi Hendrix: Electric Church presents the legendary guitarist in full flight at the 1970 Atlanta Pop Festival before the largest US audience of his career. This critically acclaimed film combined color, 16mm multi-camera footage of Hendrix’s unforgettable July 4, 1970 concert in its original performance sequence together with a new documentary that traces his journey to the festival amidst the dark shadow of civil rights unrest, the unrelenting toll of the Vietnam War and a burgeoning festival culture that drew together young people across the country who were inspired by the Woodstock festival.
