SUMMARY:Westbeth Movie Night: What Happened\, Miss Simone?
DESCRIPTION:Friday April 22\, 2022 at 7PM\nWestbeth Community Room\n155 Bank Street (enter through courtyard)\nNew York\, NY\nMasks are recommended\, Room capacity 74 \nWhat Happened\, Miss Simone? is a 2015 American biographical documentary film about Nina Simone directed by Liz Garbus. The film opened the 2015 Sundance Film Festival. The screening was followed by a tribute performance by John Legend.[1] The film was released by Netflix on June 26\, 2015. It was nominated for Best Documentary Feature at the 88th Academy Awards. \nMichael Hogan wrote for Vanity Fair that\, “The risk of making a documentary of a towering artist is that\, by explaining her\, you only end up diminishing her. Not Nina Simone—not this time. In Liz Garbus’s telling\, Simone’s talent and personality shine through\, as gloriously singular\, and uncontrollable\, as ever.” \nManohla Dargis of The New York Times cited the film’s relevance\, calling it an “often electric\, bracingly urgent documentary.
