In the organizer's words:
Theater am Olgaeck; Africa Film Festival - 20 Feet From Stardo
The Oscar-winning music documentary tells the stories of the female backing singers who made songs world-famous but were themselves overshadowed."
Description
"20 Feet From Stardom" is an American documentary from 2013 by director Morgan Neville. The film takes a fascinating look at the often overlooked female backing singers of music history - the voices that made world-famous songs great without being in the spotlight themselves.
The focus is particularly on singers such as Darlene Love, Merry Clayton, Lisa Fischer, Judith Hill and others who have supported the biggest stars in pop, rock and soul history over the decades - from the Rolling Stones to Bruce Springsteen.
The title "20 Feet From Stardom" alludes precisely to this distance: they were literally just a few steps behind the megastars, but never had their big break in the limelight themselves.
The film won the Oscar for best documentary in 2014 and was highly praised internationally because it not only sheds light on music history, but also tells very personal stories of talent, missed opportunities, passion and identity.
