"As part of the NZ Soul Alldayer event we are holding the first NZ screenings of the new movie “Still Bill”.
You know the music – now meet the man
Still Bill is an intimate portrait of soul legend Bill Withers, best known for his classics Aint No Sunshine, Lean On Me, Lovely Day, Grandmas Hands and Just the Two of Us. With his soulful delivery and warm, heartfelt sincerity, Withers has written the songs that have and always will resonate deeply within the fabric of our times.
Filmmakers Damani Baker and Alex Vlack follow Withers and offer a unique and rare look inside the world of this fascinating man.
Through concert footage, journeys to his birthplace, interviews with music legends, his family and closest friends, Still Bill presents the story of an artist who has written some of the most beloved songs in our time and who truly understands the heart and soul of a man.
