(hennemusic) Pearl Jam will debut "Pearl Jam Twenty," a definitive portrait of the band as told by Cameron Crowe, at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival on Saturday September 10."Pearl Jam Twenty" chronicles the years leading up to the band's formation, the chaos that ensued soon-after being catapulted into superstardom, their step back from the spotlight with the instinct of self-preservation, and the creation of a trusted circle that would surround themgiving way to a work culture that would sustain them. The film celebrates the freedom that allows the band to make music without losing themselves, their fans, or the music lovers they'd always been.
"We put so much into the film moments, pieces of footage shot by band members, audio snippets, visual bursts, new and old interviews many different formats, all meant to present an emotional scrapbook of what it felt like to be a member of the band on this twenty-year journey," said Crowe. "The richness of the footage made our path very clear just tell the story of the band and let the music guide us. It was a joy to make this film, and we're thrilled share it with the fans." more on this story
