The very first all-access documentary, chronicling the life and times of iconoclastic musician Frank Zappa, will be released in Australia in cinemas on February 18 2021.

According to a synopsis, Zappa, directed by Alex Winter of Bill & Ted fame, will "open your mind to the creativity and fearlessness of a man whose worldview, art and politics were,” in Winter’s words, “far ahead of their time, and profoundly relevant in our challenging times.” Watch the trailer below.

Winter was granted “unfettered access” to thousands of hours of footage in the Zappa family trust that had remained untouched since Frank’s death in 1993. The highly-anticipated film explores both the private life behind Zappa’s musical career and his massive cultural influence through exclusive interviews and “eye-popping” unseen live and behind-the-scenes footage. 

ZAPPA will be released in Australia in cinemas February 18 2021 – more info via Umbrella Films, here.
