When You're Strange When You’re Strange: A Film About The Doors www.whenyourestrangemovie.com Documentary Feature Films, U.S.A. 2008 ‐ 90 mins. ‐ Color & b/w Contact Publicist: Yolanda Borrego 210.218.9436, [email protected] Movie Synopsis Photo Credit: www.images.eonline.com “When You’re Strange: A Film About the Doors” shows the riveting story of The Doors and their climb to fame through never before seen footage. Directed by award-winning Tom DiCillo and narrated by Johnny Depp, the film displays the true life of one of America’s most iconic bands through the eyes of it’s four brilliant and talented artists. This documentary takes you from the beginning of the band’s history in 1965 with the meeting of Jim Morrison and Ray Manzarek at the University of California in Los Angeles to the height of the band’s fame and eventual death of lead singer Morrison in 1971. Showing the band’s members both on and off stage, “When You’re Strange” illustrates the unique relationship between singer Jim Morrison, drummer John Densmore, keyboardist Ray Manzarek, and guitarist Robby Krieger. The band’s first feature documentary of its kind got its unique title from The Doors’ hit song, “People are Strange.” Through the use of original footage and music, this documentary goes beyond telling the band’s history but also truly depicts a nostalgic moment in time. “When You’re Strange: A Film About The Doors” was directed by Tom DiCillo, narrated by Johnny Depp, produced by Wolf Films/Strange Pictures, in association with Rhino Entertainment, and released by Abranorama. The documentary is scheduled to be released in select theatres on April 9, 2010. Statement from the Director Photo Credit: www.tomdicillo.com/blog Tom DiCillo As a true fan of The Doors growing up, I was honored to work on this film and am truly proud of its end product. My first experience with the doors was as a 14 year old listening to their music on the radio. I remember knowing that something about their music related to me because of its uniqueness and I found myself learning more and more about this as I worked on this film. I found myself learning so much that the film kept changing month after month as I constantly uncovered new insights. The concept I created in my mind was for the footage to tell the true story of The Doors through a narrative feature rather than as a traditional documentary form, and I believe that we succeeded in that. I am honored of Johnny Depp’s participation and believe that his narration adds so much that it takes the film into an entirely different dimension. What I found most interesting about myself while working on this film was the admiration that I grew for Jim Morrison’s dedication to being a filmmaker. I can relate to him more in that sense and feel a greater connection with his spirit now that I have spent so much time working with his film on this project. I am proud of this film and feel that this documentary makes the iconic band members of The Doors human during the changing social atmosphere that they lived through. I also want to congratulate everyone who worked on this film for the positive recognition it has received at numerous film festivals.

After moving to Los Angeles and enrolling in the UCLA film program, Morrison met keyboardist Ray Manzarek while living on the beach. Morrison and Manzarek became the first members of The Doors and were joined by drummer John Densmore and guitarist Robby Krieger. Morrison had his share of run-ins with law enforcement during several live performances and after a few arrests moved to Paris, France.

  • The Doors”—The Doors (1967) Added to the National Registry: 2014 Essay by Richie Unterberger (Guest Post)*
    “The Doors”—The Doors (1967) Added to the National Registry: 2014 Essay by Richie Unterberger (guest post)* Original album cover Original label The Doors One of the most explosive debut albums in history, “The Doors” boasted an unprecedented fusion of rock with blues, jazz, and classical music. With their hypnotic blend of Ray Manzarek’s eerie organ, Robby Krieger’s flamenco-flecked guitar runs, and John Densmore’s cool jazz-driven drumming, the band were among the foremost pioneers of California psychedelia. Jim Morrison’s brooding, haunting vocals injected a new strand of literate poetry into rock music, exploring both the majestic highs and the darkest corners of the human experience. The Byrds, Bob Dylan, and other folk-rockers were already bringing more sophisticated lyrics into rock when the Doors formed in Los Angeles in the summer of 1965. Unlike those slightly earlier innovators, however, the Doors were not electrified folkies. Indeed, their backgrounds were so diverse, it’s a miracle they came together in the first place. Chicago native Manzarek, already in his late 20s, was schooled in jazz and blues. Native Angelenos Krieger and Densmore, barely in their 20s, when the band started to generate a local following, had more open ears to jazz and blues than most fledgling rock musicians. The charismatic Morrison, who’d met Manzarek when the pair were studying film at the University of California at Los Angeles, had no professional musical experience. He had a frighteningly resonant voice, however, and his voracious reading of beat literature informed the poetry he’d soon put to music.

  • THE LORE of the DOORS: Celebrating Santa Barbara Connections As Legendary Rockers Mark Milestone
    Newspress.com http://www.newspress.com/Top/Article/printArticle.jsp?ID... THE LORE OF THE DOORS: Celebrating Santa Barbara connections as legendary rockers mark milestone KARNA HUGHES, NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER February 11, 2007 8:18 AM Some say The Doors' late singer Jim Morrison wrote "The Crystal Ship" when he was dropping acid on an Isla Vista beach one night, transfixed by the glittering lights of Platform Holly, an offshore oil rig. Whispered rumors, legends and contrary accounts go hand in hand with iconic rock bands, and Santa Barbarans aren't immune to the mystique of The Doors. But though recirculated stories often stretch the bounds of credibility, the Los Angeles band does have some curious connections to Santa Barbara County. When The Doors receive a lifetime achievement Grammy Award tonight, some locals can even claim they knew the boys back in the beginning. In tribute to the band's 40th anniversary, being celebrated this year, we collected local trivia related to the group. Maybe you'll find yourself a few degrees from The Doors. • Before becoming The Doors' ace guitarist, Robby Krieger (then Robert Alan Krieger) was a student at UCSB, where he studied psychology from 1964 to 1965. He taught flamenco guitar to kids and practiced his grooves in the laundry room of his dorm. "It was a total party school," Mr. Krieger recalled in "The Doors by The Doors" (Hyperion, 2006). "There was a band of hippies at UCSB. Longhairs few and far between at that point. We were doing acid and stuff, but there weren't a lot (of) us, maybe twenty people that were hip, you know." 1 of 6 02/13/2007 1:34 PM Newspress.com http://www.newspress.com/Top/Article/printArticle.jsp?ID..

  • L'altra Cara Del Glamour, Al Desembre En L'aula De Cinema De La
    L’altra cara del glamour, al desembre en l’Aula de Cinema de la Universitat de València L'Aula de Cinema de la Universitat de València tanca la seua programació per a 2013 en la Facultat de Filologia, Traducció i Comunicació amb el cicle cinematogràfic L'altra cara del glamour. Durant el mes de desembre, cada dimecres a les 18 hores, es projectarà una pel·lícula que retrate el costat menys glamurós i conegut del món del cinema. Directors bloquejats, estrelles vingudes a menys i rodatges caòtics seran els protagonistes del cicle, que pretén desmuntar la imatge seductora i fascinant difosa en bona mesura per la pròpia indústria del cinema. El dimecres 4 de desembre s'obrirà el cicle L'altra cara del glamour amb la projecció de l'aclamada Fellini 8 ½ (8 ½, Federico Fellini, 1963). Punt d'inflexió en la filmografia del mític realitzador italià, la pel·lícula ens explica la sobtada crisi creativa que travessa un director de cinema (interpretat pel seu actor fetitxe, Marcello Mastroianni), que es veurà pressionat per productors, actors i la seua dona. La segona sessió tindrà lloc el dimecres 11, en la qual es projectarà la recent JCVD (J.C.V.D., Mabrouk El Mechri, 2008). Un títol compost per sigles que corresponen al nom del seu protagonista, l'estrella d'acció Jean-Claude Van Damme, que s'interpreta a si mateix en un exercici d'autocrítica en el qual ironitza sobre la seua carrera. El cicle conclourà el dimecres 18 amb Vivir rodando (Living in Oblivion, 1995), una sàtira lloada en els cercles de cinema independent que narra precisament les dificultats de realitzar una pel·lícula de baix pressupost.

This is not a typical tribute band. Wild Child relies on recapturing the original: sound, feel, mood, dynamics and delivery of the Doors music. In true Doors fashion there are no: wigs, props, costumes, or phony banter between song. It’s about the music and its delivery by top pro musicians and performers. This compact touring group has minimal technical requirements to make a big show. Fly in engagements are a snap. This four piece group has ove r two decades of world tour experience and always delivers! From 2010 to 2013, Wild Child lead singer Dave Brock fronted the touring act “Ray Manzarek and Robby Krieger of The Doors.” Being selected by these two Rock’n Roll Hall of Fame musicians was a huge honor for Dave. This was the ultimate compliment of his talents and speaks volumes for his credibility as a doors style front man and vocalist. Here are a few things the media had to say about Wild Child. Radio Legend Jim Ladd said “These guys are excellent, not a cartoon version of The Doors” The L.A. Times said “Wild Child a winner!

Strange Days: The American Media Debates The Doors, 1966-1971 Maximillian F. Grascher 2 Introduction Throughout the course of American history, there have been several prominent social and political revolutions carried out by citizens dissatisfied with the existing American institutions run by the government and its civil servants. Of these revolutions, Vietnam War and civil rights protest among youth in the 1960s was of the most influential, shaping American society in the decades to come. With US involvement in Vietnam escalating and the call for African-American civil rights becoming more insistent by the year, thousands of America’s youth took to the streets to protest the country’s foreign and domestic policies and to challenge the US government, much to the anger of America’s older generations. Artists played a critical role in the unrest, including musicians who encouraged a reformation of American society’s established norms through revolution.

Ihre unverwechselbaren Sounds, ihr Wille zu bedingungsloser künstlerischer Freiheit, ihr Hang zu den dunklen Seiten der Seele und Jim Morrisons Exzesse inspirierten Generationen von Jugendlichen: cool, rebellisch, unsterblich. Fast 40 Jahre nach dem Tod des charismatischen Rock-Poeten Jim Morrison hat die Band nichts von Ihrer Faszination eingebüßt. Mit den bisher ungezeigten Kurzfilmen von Morrison und noch nie gesehenem Archivmaterial, das die Doors auf der Bühne, hinter der Bühne und in privaten Momenten zeigte, lässt der preisgekrönte Regisseur Tom DiCillo den Mythos „Doors“ wieder aufleben. Erzähler dieser einzigartigen Geschichte der Popkultur ist der Schauspieler Johnny Depp. PRESSENOTIZ WHEN YOU’RE STRANGE ist die erste Kino-Dokumentation über The Doors. Sie erzählt die Geschichte der Band von den Anfängen am Strand von Venice Beach 1965 über die sechs Studioalben (allesamt Meilensteine der Popmusik) bis zu Jim Morrisons Tod im Jahr 1971. Um die Wahrheit vom Mythos zu unterscheiden, verzichtet Tom DiCillo – Kultregisseur (LIVING IN OBLIVION) und Kameravirtuose (STRANGER THAN PARADISE) – auf Schauspieler und verlässt sich allein auf das Archivmaterial. Dieses aber ist bereits so intim und dramatisch, dass Sprecher Johnny Depp kommentiert: „Das hypnotisierende, bisher unveröffentlichte Material von Jim, John, Ray und Robby zu sehen, hat mir das Gefühl gegeben, das alles noch einmal durch ihre Augen zu erleben.“ CAST John Densmore .........................................................................................

  • When You're Strange
    Berlinale 2009 Tom DiCillo Panorama WHEN YOU’RE STRANGE Dokumente WHEN YOU’RE STRANGE WHEN YOU’RE STRANGE USA 2009 Dokumentarfilm mit John Densmore Länge 88 Min. Robby Krieger Format HDCAM Ray Manzarek Farbe und Jim Morrison Schwarzweiß Stabliste Regie Tom DiCillo Buch Tom DiCillo Kamera Paul Ferrara Schnitt Mickey Blythe Kevin Krasny Produzenten Peter Jankowski John Beug Jeff Jampol Dick Wolf Co-Produktion Wolf Films, Universal City Rhino Entertainment, The Doors Burbank WHEN YOU’RE STRANGE Am Anfang standen „Die Pforten der Wahrnehmung“, Aldous Huxleys Buch über seine Erfahrungen mit Meskalin und anderen Halluzinogenen. Dem William-Blake-Zitat, das ihm das Motto geliefert hatte, entnahmen auch Jim Morrison und Ray Manzarek die Anregung zu dem Namen ihrer Band, die sie 1965 in Venice Beach gründeten. The Doors sollte sie heißen. Wie Huxleys Gebrauch der Droge sollte ihre Musik bewusstseinserweiternd sein und Melodie und Mystik verbinden. Deshalb war es wohl auch kein Zufall, dass das Gründungsduo die beiden anderen Bandmitglieder John Densmore und Robby Krieger bei einem Esoterikkurs kennenlernte. Mit ihnen war die Band komplett, die sich bis 1971 zu einer der wichtigsten und einflussreichsten amerikanischen Rockbands entwickeln sollte. Die Jahre zwischen ihren ersten Auftritten – etwa auf den Fluren der UCLA Film School – bis zu Jim Morrisons tragischem Tod in Paris sind erstmals ausführlich Gegenstand eines Dokumentarfilms. Für ihn hat Tom DiCillo jede Menge bislang unveröffentlichtes Filmmaterial zusammengetragen. Es zeigt die Doors im Studio, backstage und bei Bühnen auf tritten. Natürlich geht es auch um Morrisons legendäre Exzesse, um Ruhm, Drogen, Sex und Alko hol. Im Zentrum des Films aber steht die künstlerische Kompromiss losigkeit der vier Musiker, die nicht zuletzt mit sechs Alben in fünf Jahren einen maßgeblichen Beitrag zur Geschichte der Popkultur geleistet haben.
