The London UK Genesis Cinema, 93-95 Mile End Rd will host the premiere gala screening of the Vision Of Paradise — a new documentary film about Lee Scratch Perry — on 4th July.
The Premier is open to the public and includes a Q&A with Lee and director Volker Schaner.
The movie will be in cinemas this September and available on DVD/VOD this autumn.
For the past 15 years Volker has followed Perry on a spiritual and geographical journey taking in Jamacia, Ethopia, Germany, Switzerland and London. Over this period Volker has earned Perry’s trust, resulting in a never-before-granted level of access and insight into Perrys’ fantastical, spiritual world.
The world-famous Dub / Reggae / Techno artist was born 1936 in Kendal, Jamaica and is noted for his highly innovative studio techniques and commitment to production values.
In the early 1970’s he built a studio in his back yard, dubbed the Black Ark, to have more control over his productions and to produce notable musicians such as Bob Marley & the Wailers amongst many others.
He is regarded by Rolling Stone to be one of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.
