Mochilla Presents:

A New Screening Series Monthly at the Downtown Independent.

Mochilla is dedicated to bringing you music and visuals of the highest order. During the discussions around the successful screening of Postcard from Cali with Jim from the Independent we stumbled upon the idea of a series of Music Documentaries that are obscure, unseen and maybe just didn't have a real run.

We proudly start this series with unequivocally one of the best music documentaries I've ever seen. Still Bill is the story of Bill Withers. It is moving, inspiring and learned. It is a must see for anyone interested in music, the creative process or humanity for that matter. Bill Withers if you don't know is the creator of such soulful hits as Ain't No Sunshine, Lean on Me. Lovely Day, Grandma's Hands and Use Me. His story is unique but his sensitivity is universal.

We will have the (re)Premiere on Friday with very special guests. We will have a little afterparty on the roof after wards please feel free to bring your favorite Bill Withers record to play. There will be some drinks. And there will be very special guests.

For those who cant make Friday - the film will continue to screen on Saturday and Sunday.

We urge you not to miss this. It is an incredible achievement as a film.

Directed by Damani Baker and Alex Vlack, Still Bill tells the story of Bill Withers, an unexpected superstar. "Ain't No Sunshine", "Lean on Me", "Lovely Day" and "Just the Two of Us" are only part of a complex and fascinating character: an icon who left the industry behind but never gave up his soul. You know his songs. Now meet the man.

Featuring a tribute concert, a soundtrack with previously unreleased tracks, and rare live performance.
