Two new films — exploring the founding of Jimi Hendrix's legendary and groundbreaking studio and aging alone after the death of a partner — open at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln's Mary Riepma Ross Media Arts Center Oct. 25.
Continuing is the Ross Fright Fest, through Oct. 31.
The critically acclaimed documentary, "Electric Lady Studios: A Jimi Hendrix Vision," chronicles the creation of the studio, rising from the rubble of a bankrupt Manhattan nightclub to state-of-the-art recording facility inspired by Hendrix’s desire for a permanent studio. Produced by Janie Hendrix, George Scott and John McDermott and directed by McDermott, the film features exclusive interviews with Steve Winwood, Experience bassist Billy Cox and original Electric Lady staff members who helped Hendrix realize his dream. The documentary includes never-before-seen footage and photos as well as track breakdowns of Hendrix classics such as “Freedom,” “Angel” and “Dolly Dagger” by recording engineer Eddie Kramer.
"Electric Lady Studios" is not rated and is showing through Nov. 7.
