20,000 Days on Earth

20,000 Days On Earth is an inventive, lyrical ode to creativity and an intimate examination of the artistic process of musician and cultural icon Nick Cave. In their debut feature, directors Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard fuse drama and documentary, weaving a staged day in Cave’s life with never-before-seen verité observation of his creative cycle. It features those who have affected his life and career as a post-punk balladeer, interweaving wry tales from the road shared with his regular collaborators and fellow musicians. Winner of the 2014 Sundance Best Directing and Best Editing awards, this category-defying film pushes the form into new territory, exploring universal themes about artistry, and celebrating the transformative power of the creative spirit.
