ABOUT THE FILM:
The extraordinary story of the world-famous Montreux Jazz Festival and its beloved founder, Claude Nobs. Starting in 1967 with practically no knowledge of the music industry Claude Nobs turned a sleepy town on the shores of Lake Geneva into a mecca for the greatest international recording artists of all time. Aretha Franklin, Nina Simone, David Bowie, Miles Davis, Etta James, Prince… the list goes on and They All Came Out To Montreux.

NewportFILM Outdoors, a unique celebration of documentary moviemaking that is held in some of the most iconic locations in one of the most storied summer resorts in America, has unveiled its latest line-up of films for its summer season.
They include “It’s Only Life After All,” a look at the Indigo Girls; “After the Bite,” an examination of a community’s reaction to a shark attack; and “Invisible Beauty,” the story of pioneering model, agent and activist, Bethann Hardison. What makes the Newport, Rhode Island event so memorable is that these screenings take place on the lawns of mansions like Marble House and The Elms, as well as historical locations like Fort Adams, which hosts the annual Newport Jazz Festival, and the Newport Polo Grounds. It’s all very shades of Edith Wharton (well, if Newland Archer were a cinephile instead of a conflicted aristocrat).
