Amy - special preview by UK Jewish Film

"stunningly moving and powerful: intimate, passionate, often shocking, and almost mesmerically absorbing." - Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

The unmissable story of musical icon Amy Winehouse, told by award-winning director Asif Kapadia (Senna). A “classic north London Jewish girl who entered the room like a force of nature,” according to Island Records president Nick Gatfield, Amy’s sensational talent was accompanied by a headline-grabbing personal life that had tragic outcomes.

Kapadia weaves a heartbreakingly tender and immersive portrait of Amy the child, girl and young woman, using family home videos, personal studio footage, and interviews with friends, family, colleagues and lovers. The result is unforgettable.

The screening is followed by a Q&A with director Asif Kapadia and Amy’s first manager and friend Nick Shymanski.
