Monday Night Film Series presents THE RETURN OF TANYA TUCKER FEATURING BRANDI CARLILE-FR

Event Details:

The Monday Night Film Series presents "THE RETURN OF TANYA TUCKER: FEATURING BRANDI CARLILE", on Monday, Jan. 30 at 7:30 p.m. at Tilley Hall, Rm. 102.

Country music legend Tanya Tucker’s momentous comeback is documented in this documentary about the making of her award-winning 2019 album, While I’m Livin’.

Grammy Award–winning songwriter and musician Brandi Carlile never believed the influential Tucker received her due respect. So, in January 2019, she and producer Shooter Jennings managed to coax Tucker into the studio with the goal of creating her first album of original music in 17 years.

Director Kathlyn Horan, aided by beautiful, unobtrusive camerawork by Jessica Young, skillfully immerses us into their creative process as Carlile and Tucker endeavour to mine the latter’s deep well of memory and experience to create songs worthy of Tucker’s still enthralling voice. The fascination of the film is experiencing Carlile cajoling, protecting, and urging Tucker, who compensates for her obstinance, insecurity, and volatility with self-deprecating humour and a vulnerability only possible in the atmosphere of empathy forged by Carlile.

This unique documentary provides us with access and insight into the intergenerational creative rapport between two women and their complex, intriguing, and deeply rewarding musical partnership.

This term, 15 limited release, independent foreign & Canadian films will be shown. Admission is $10/film, but a half year film society membership reduces admission cost to $7/film. The series is open to all. Memberships are available at Tilley 102 every Monday night or at the Film Co-op by appointment.
