'Queen: Days Of Our Lives' Documentary To Be Screened At Tribeca Film Festival

March 13, 2012

The QUEEN documentary "Days Of Our Lives" will be shown during the Special Screenings section of the 11th annual edition of the Tribeca Film Festival, set to take place from April 18 to April 29 in New York City.

"Queen: Days Of Our Lives" sees Roger Taylor and Brian May looking back at the band's incredible career in candid detail for the first time. The film explores the remarkable story of Brian, Roger, John Deacon and Freddie Mercury — looking into the early struggles, huge obstacles, success, arguments, breakups, triumph, tragedy and an enduring legacy — all against a backdrop of brilliant music and stunning live performances. With an extensive archive of unseen footage (the producers uncovered QUEEN's first-ever TV performance, missing believed wiped, and shown here for the first time) plus remarkable archive interviews with Freddie Mercury, the documentary is the band's story in their own words — a compelling journey told with intelligence, wit, plenty of humour and painful honesty.

The documentary covers each of the band's studio albums, their legendary world tours of the '70s and '80s as they conquered South and North America and Asia, Live Aid and their enduring success since the passing of Freddie leading up to the present day and a popularity that continues to grow yearly.

"Queen: Days Of Our Lives" is produced by Rhys Thomas (the comedian who famously broke the "Mastermind" all-time record points score with a specialist subject of QUEEN) and Simon Lupton, and is directed by the renowned director Matt O'Casey.

Rhys Thomas comments: "We have set out to make the definitive QUEEN documentary. It's a funny, honest, inspiring and ultimately tragic account of 'a certain band called QUEEN,' as told by the band themselves. We tell the story of four students who met in West London, slogged hard and conquered the world, ultimately changing rock music forever."
