We had a great time at both Q&A screenings for Catching Fire: The Story of Anita Pallenberg. Featuring two sold-out screenings Curzon Mayfair and Olympic Studios followed by live Q&As hosted by Miranda Sawyer and Thurston Moore. Plus, an array of rock n rollers in attendance including the likes of Noel Gallagher and Courtney Love. Check out our highlights below.
Catching Fire is an intimate portrait that reveals the story of an unapologetic rock ‘n’ roller, actress, muse and mother who rose to prominence in the 1960s and 1970s. Drawing on words from her unpublished memoir, narrated by Scarlett Johansson, Anita draws us deep into her world, with the help of a supporting cast that includes her family - Marlon, Angela, and their father Keith Richards. Never-seen-before home movies and family photographs explore life with the Rolling Stones, in a bittersweet tale of both triumph and heartbreak. From Barbarella to the Swiss Alps, and the Lower East Side of New York, Anita Pallenberg was a woman ahead of her time.
OLYMPIC STUDIOS, LONDON
Thurston Moore, best known as a member of the rock band Sonic Youth, hosted a Q&A with film participant and Keith and Anita’s son Marlon Richards.
CURZON MAYFAIR, LONDON
Round two of the special events was at Curzon Mayfair where journalist and author Miranda Sawyer moderated a live post-screening Q&A with co-directors Svetlana Gill and Alexis Bloom and film participant Marlon Richards.
