Zappa documentary nabbed by Sony
Sony Pictures classics has acquired “Eat That Question -- Frank Zappa In His Own Words”, directed by Thorsten Schutte. The documentary zooms in on the iconoclastic composer-musician entirely through rare archival footage from his three-decade career. With clips of rare TV interviews and international performances, the film by the German director explores Zappa's unconventional and irreverent handling of the media, his irrepressible quest for enlightenment and his witty self-dramatization.
Sony Pictures Classics made the acquisition announcement of the doc's worldwide rights (excluding France and Germany) ahead of its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival on January 25 in the Documentary Premieres section.
“Eat That Question” is produced by Estelle Fialon of Les Films du Poisson (France) and Jochen Laube of UFA Films (Germany), and co-produced by ARTE France and SWR.
