Greetings From Tim Buckley
May 24 - May 30, 2013
(Daniel Algrant, 2013, USA, Blu-ray, 99 min)
Seattle premiere!
It’s 1991, and the organizer of a tribute concert for musician Tim Buckley has asked Tim's son Jeff to make his debut performance. Wrestling with confusing feelings about the father he never knew, Jeff travels to New York City, exploring the city like his father (whose story is also told in Greetings) once explored America on a cross-country tour. This feature film exploration of fame and memory also features the up-and-coming musician Penn Badgley, who plays the role of Jeff with all the uncertainty and struggle that Buckley fans have heard in his music.
"Haunting...director Dan Algrant's lyrical recreation of a father-son relationship seen over time, through memory and music, has a sense of urgent originality that works even apart from its great Tim Buckley score." – The Hollywood Reporter
