He’s been called a genius, a unique talent who has been a key influence on figures such as Albert Hammond Jr, Ariel Pink, Tim Burgess, Mac DeMarco and many many others. Rolling Stone Magazine said he’s made “One of the most significant indie albums of all time”. R Stevie Moore has been a reclusive figure for over 40 years, recording over 400 albums in his bedroom. Musical Legend or Bonkers? Or Both? For the first time, we go on the road to discover the truth behind the myth as we jump inside the crazy, chaotic world of R Stevie Moore.

Figs Jackman has just returned from Rio. "It was great to reconnect with Rio 2C at what is such an important and creative market place" said a suspiciously bronzed looking Mr Jackman. As well as a plethora of meetings with both Brazilian and international producers he presented a session on Global Narratives and showed clips from 'Meeting Gorbachev' and our upcoming 'Cool Daddio'.

André’s Masterclass
Last week André appeared at DOCVILLE in Belgium to hold a masterclass and for them to screen three of his films.
"Andre Singer is a monument in the world of documentaries. After his doctorate in anthropology, he started making non-fiction in the 1970s. He produced over 55 documentary films and series, including many award-winning titles and collaborations with well-known names.
He produced Joshua Oppenheimer's Oscar-nominated documentary The Act of Killing (2014) and the worldwide TV series Stephen Fry in America. But his main brother-in-arms is Werner Herzog, for whom he has been producing films for a quarter of a century. In 2014, Singer took place in the director's chair for the memorable WWII documentary Night Will Fall. His last achievement is another collaboration with Herzog, this time as co-director of Meeting Gorbachev. The perfect occasion for DOCVILLE to put the spotlight on him as Artist in Focus.
