Heaven Adores You

Tuesday, August 6, 2024

 Tuesday, August 6 at 7:00 p.m.: Jem Cohen (dir. Benjamin Smoke) will be presenting his short film, LUCKY THREE, prior to the feature and will be in discussion with director Nickolas Rossi following the film. 

Celebrating the 10th anniversary of the films’ release HEAVEN ADORES YOU returns to theaters for a special event screening on August 6, which would have been the 55th birthday of Elliott Smith.

The film is an intimate, meditative inquiry into the life and music of Elliott Smith (1969-2003). By threading the music of Elliott Smith through the dense, yet often isolating landscapes of the three major cities he lived in — Portland, New York City, Los Angeles —HEAVEN ADORES YOU presents a visual journey and an earnest review of the singer’s prolific songwriting and the impact it continues to have on fans, friends, and fellow musicians.
