A Film by Steven Sebring

“Steven Sebring’s Patti Smith: Dream of Life is a DREAM OF A MOVIE; gauzy, free-associative, & reverberant.”
-THE LOS ANGELES TIMES

“An act of rapturous devotion…joyous, elegiac, warm and vibrantly present.”
-Manohla Dargas, THE NEW YORK TIMES

Eleven years in the making, Patti Smith: Dream of Life is a unique and intimate portrait of the renowned singer, songwriter, poet, and activist. Photographer-director Steven Sebring creates a beautiful collage of image, memories, and performances illuminating the complexities and capturing the essence of this distinctive, legendary icon. From her punk-poet roots through the trials of daily life and untimely deaths that have formed her art and life, Smith narrates the film touching on her early days in New York, the people dearest to her, and the political causes she champions.

Through beautiful cinematography (both black & white and color), Sebring captures the essential nature of this vital and relevant American artist.
