S&A UK: Screening Of “Bob Marley. The Making of The Legend” Next Week + Preview Trailer

You can read my lengthy look (HERE) at the many Bob Marleyprojects that have been been in development limbo over the last 12 years or so; though, most recently we announced that Oscar-winning filmmaker Kevin Macdonald(director of documentaries like One Day In September and Touching the Void) had signed on to directMarley, a production that’s being put together with full cooperation of Marley’s family, taking over theMartin Scorsese/Jonathan Demme documentary that’s been passed around for awhile now.

That film will be released this fall, 2011, marking the 30th anniversary of Bob Marley’s death in 1981.

However, those in the London will have the opportunity to see a work-in-progress Marley project titled, Bob Marley. The Making of The Legend. its story goes… “actress, photographer and filmmaker Esther Anderson created the blueprint of this film in 1973 as a kaleidoscope portrait of Bob Marley and the Wailers in Jamaica, constructing the union between Reggae and Rasta that launches the international career of the Wailers. Writing songs with Bob Marley and creating the image for the band, Esther’s original vision created a radical change of perception and consciousness both musically and socially around the world. Now, in collaboration with architect and filmmaker Gian Godoy, Esther revisits the making of the legend in modern Jamaica.”

Screening will take place on March 19th, next week Saturday at BFI. Click HERE for ticket info.
