Before the screening, view items signed by members of Wilco and enter a raffle to win them
This documentary from photographer Sam Jones follows the creation and distribution of Wilco’s fourth studio album, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. Jones captures the eternal tug-of-war battle between art and commerce, as the band butts heads with Reprise, gets dropped by their record label, then streams the album on their website for free and receives critical acclaim. The film is a treat for Wilco fans but also exposes the workings of a profit-driven music industry.
