After Successful Festival Play and Stellar Reviews, Toby Amies’ Long-Awaited New Documentary
Celebrates with Global Special Streamed Screening October 22
“In the Court of the Crimson King, King Crimson at 50”
Commentaries by various press:
“’In the Court of the Crimson King’ is really about as good as rock documentaries get…”
– Chris Willman, Variety
“Very entertaining, very accessible and very funny…It is about the burden of dreams and the misery of making art.”
– Mark Kermode
“…fascinating and deeply funny…”
– Daniel Dylan Wray, The Quietus
“…one of the finest rock documentaries ever made.”
– Kyle Smith, National Review
“One of the complaints people have about King Crimson’s music is that it’s cerebral, rather than emotional, in nature.
Despite that argument, In the Court of the Crimson King exposes the music’s heart.”
– Joe Gross, The Austin Chronicle
“A grown-up film about working players living, dying, laughing, playing…”
– Robert Fripp
London, UK (October 6, 2022)—Discipline Global Music Ltd (DGM) is delighted to announce the public launch of the highly anticipated documentary directed by Toby Amies (“The Man Whose Mind Exploded”)
“In the Court of the Crimson King, King Crimson at 50,”
King Crimson has always pioneered an uncompromisingly independent route, and this documentary, four years in the making, has followed the same path. In a carefully choreographed
global event, the movie will be available on Saturday 22 October, with a special streamed screening in London, including a live introduction by Robert Fripp and
Q&A with the director and band members.
The exclusive event debuts live worldwide in October 22 on the nugs.net platform and will be available through Video On-Demand for a 24-hour period thereafter, to allow for fans in
different time zones around the world to watch.
Cinema screenings will be held worldwide from 19 October onwards in select cities. Please visit itcotck.com/screenings for details on upcoming screenings in your area.
A Blu-ray/DVD release and larger box set will follow, with never-before-seen live performances of the band, outrageous outtakes, and hours of unreleased additional footage.
NOTE: Any cinemas or fans wishing to screen the film or organize a screening should contact the film via itcotck.com.
“In the Court of the Crimson King, King Crimson at 50” explores the “acute suffering” and transcendent glory experienced by current and former members of King Crimson,
allowing the audience an intimate and sometimes uncomfortable insight into the musicians’ experience as they confront life and death head-on in the world’s most demanding rock band.
It is not only a film about a group that has been creatively active for more than 50 years, it is also a film about music, why it matters, and the painful sacrifices artists
have to make to create work that changes people’s lives—but with jokes.
In keeping with King Crimson’s independent, ethical, and iconoclastic approach to the music and entertainment business, they have sidestepped traditional broadcast platforms
in order to bring the film directly to their fans, without further delay or compromise.
WORLDWIDE DIGITAL STREAMED EVENT BEGINS OCTOBER 22:
8:00PM BST/3:00PM EDT/12:00PM PDT
