Melody Makers ā€“ Leslie Ann Coles (Woodbridge, Ontario, Canada) - A rock-doc that traces the birth of rock nā€™ roll journalism in the 1960s, when Melody Maker magazine, the forerunner to Rolling Stone, became a pop culture phenom- enon. Radiating with the energy of the time, the magazine gave space to now- legendary bands, and opened its offices to musicians who arrived, with their unreleased tracks in hands, to be interviewed by the editors and journalists who made Melody Maker a must-read for every rock fan. Capturing an evolutionary period in the history of rock nā€™ roll, this documentary features interviews with journalists, musicians, and others who worked behind the scenes, and who wit- nessed both the spectacular rise and the dramatic fall of Melody Maker. 2017; 97 min.
