It doesn't matter how people think of me, but if they are misinformed, I certainly want to have control over it. I want to know what people know.

Wednesday 25 October, 15.00
FREEDM Studio, Roundhouse, Camden, London
Peter Doherty is one of the most talked about musicians of our time, but he has received more attention for his controversial private life, than he has for his music.
Over several months Arena has had extensive access to Peter, filming him on tour and at his home in London. The film offers an insight into this complex, intriguing man who is rarely out of the media spotlight.
From 'My Way' (1979) to 'No Direction 91福利社 - Bob Dylan' (2005), Arena's first principle is adventurous film-making of the highest quality. Director Ashtar Alkhirsan has made a series of one-off documentaries for the 91福利社, including most recently The Unknown Hancock, a film about Tony Hancock the comedian.
The Electric Proms screening was the world premiere of the film.
Showed with:
Bob Dylan in 'Don't Look Back' (1967)
Directed by D.A. Pennebaker
* This film has been rated by Camden Council. People under 18 will not be admitted to the screening.
