Energy: A Documentary About Damo Suzuki, Michelle Heighway, GB, 2022, 72’ (sub eng)
By working with a constantly-changing network of ‘sound carriers’, Suzuki has been touring the world as a unique presence for 20 years. But his movements came to a stop when he was diagnosed with cancer. The documentary examines the past, present and future of Suzuki’s influential music, from his beginnings with legendary band CAN, to his singular outlook on life, creativity, and survival.
Energy is an existential journey through the power of healing with enigmatic frontman Damo Suzuki who died in February aged 74. Critically acclaimed director Michelle Heighway has been working with the iconic musician since 2014, culminating in Energy. The film shows five years of Suzuki’s life in Germany and the United Kingdom as he confronts cancer and attempts to continue a never-ending global tour.
Damo Suzuki performed live at Sajeta in 2014.
The Soča Travelling Cinema – Isonzo Cinema is a network of cultural venues that converge on both sides of the border to make quality cinema more accessible and more evenly distributed in the cross-border Slovenian-Italian area. The cinema is carving a film channel through the entire cross-border territory from the source to the mouth of the Soca River, in order to spread film culture to more remote places, such as those where there is currently no adequate infrastructure for professional and quality film screenings. Each experience conjures up a unique encounter between environment and images, because you don’t step into the same film river twice. The Soča – Isonzo Cinema is part of the Go Green Cinema project, which addresses the wider cross-border public, local residents, casual foreign visitors and participants of the European Capital of Culture GO! 2025 programmes.
It is supported by the European Union through the Small Project Fund GO! 2025 of the Interreg VI-A Italy-Slovenia 2021-2027 programme, managed by the EGTC GO.
