Rowland S Howard Doco 'Autoluminescent' Coming To NZ Cinemas

We feel truly grateful that Rowland S Howard released album Pop Crimes before he passed in 2009 from cancer. If not for that release we may not ever have fully appreciated what an extraordinary musician he was. Now new fans and old get to further appreciate Howard with a new documentary of his life titled Autoluminescent heading our way next month. Screening as part of the World Cinema Showcase, Autoluminescent was started before Howard's death and features interviews with the man himself, his numerous collaborators including Nick Cave, Mick Harvey, Lydia Lunch and admirers such as Thurston Moore along with archive footage.
