Rock Prophecies to Screen at DocuWeeks Showcase

NEW YORK: The feature-length Rock Prophecies, which chronicles the life of conflicted photographer Robert M. Knight, will be screening twice daily, starting today until August 20, at the International Documentary Association’s (IDA) 13th annual DocuWeeks Showcase.

For the first screening, Knight will host a book signing for Rock Gods: Forty Years of Rock Photography. The book is a collection of Knight’s work, with more than 200 full-color images and commentary from artists he has photographed over the past four decades. The signing will also include a presentation of stories from Knight’s experiences in the world of rock n’ roll, followed by a Q&A session.

Rock Prophecies explores Knight’s career, following him on his quest to help the bands of today become the rock legends of tomorrow. The project will be screening twice daily at the IFC Center during the DocuWeeks Showcase, which runs from July 31 to August 20. Rock Prophecies is being presented by Samsung Mobile to introduce its new touch-screen Samsung Memoir camera phone.
