"The Best Summer (dir Tamra Davis): Base on footage shot in 1995, this documentary "reveals electric performances, candid interviews, and intimate backstage life with the Beastie Boys, Sonic Youth, Foo Fighters, Pavement, Rancid, Beck, The Amps, and Bikini Kill - an all-access view inside an era-defining moment in music." Broken English (dir Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard): "A portrait of the inimitable singer, songwriter, and icon Marianne Faithfull" featuring Tilda Swinton, Nick Cave, Beth Orton, Courtney Love and more."
"Antiheroine (dir Edward Lovelace and James Hall): "Singer, songwriter, and actor Courtney Love has long had an impact on rock and pop culture. Now sober and set to release new music for the first time in over a decade, Courtney is ready to reveal her story, unfiltered and unapologetic." The Moment (dir Aidan Zamiri): This is the Charli XCX mockumentary for A24 that's described as "A rising pop star navigates the complexities of fame and industry pressure while preparing for her arena tour debut.""
