An intimate look at the life and work of renowned Japanese musician Yutaka Ozaki.

In 1968, musician Irmin Schmidt and friends founded the avant-garde band "Can", which achieved worldwide fame. Schmidt also made a name for himself as a composer for films by Wim Wenders. In this documentary, the charismatic sound tinkerer looks back on his life and career.

The CENTRAL TOUR, INDOCHINE's monumental concert that sold out in the 5 largest French stadiums, was shown in theaters. With more than 400,000 spectators, this 40th anniversary tour broke all attendance records in each of the stadiums, all disciplines combined (concerts and sports).

In 1983, film student Rich Murray was handed $20,000 in a brown paper bag by a mobster. The money was for directing his first music video for a virtually unknown Philly rocker named Alan Mann. Mann's song "Christmas on the Block" became a Philly radio staple and Murray's music video, against the odds, became the first indie video to play on MTV. This experience, tainted by Mann's tragic passing, remained with Murray through the years. With "Fear of Heights," Murray travels back to that time to answer some nagging questions and to illuminate the dark, mysterious life and music of Alan Mann.

In the late '90s, French musician Matthieu Chedid prepares to launch his solo career. Filmed by his sister Émilie, this intimate documentary captures the behind-the-scenes creation of -M-—from his debut album "Le Baptême" to the mainstream success of "Je dis aime". The film reveals how a reserved guitarist crafted his colorful, eccentric alter ego to become a major figure on the French rock scene.

The turbulent life of soul and blues singer, the late Joe Cocker. A former gas fitter from Sheffield, catapulted to world stardom in 1969 at Woodstock with his legendary performance of the Beatles song, "A Little Help from My Friends". But in the early 1970s, Joe Cocker's inner demons nearly killed him. Overcoming his struggles with alcohol and drugs, he rebuilt his reputation as "one of the great primal rock and roll vocalists of all time" (Billy Joel's description). The film mixes Joe Cocker's own words, with rare archive. His wife (Pam Cocker) & family, friends and the legendary songwriters and musicians he collaborated with, tell Joe Cocker's story. The film has raw, historic, electric performance footage throughout. Extensive interviews of key people through his life include: Pam Cocker, Ben Fong-Torres (Rolling Stone magazine editor), Randy Newman, Jimmy Webb, Billy Joel, Rita Coolidge, Deric Dyer, Glyn Johns, and numerous others.

Soviet musical film-concert directed by Boris Barnet. Filmed in 1952 at the Kyiv Film Studio.
