New Elliott Smith documentary to feature unheard music, unseen footage & more

Heaven Adores You is an upcoming documentary movie about late singer-songwriter Elliott Smith. And if that’s not an exciting enough prospect on its own, it’s now been revealed that the film will showcase never-heard-before music.

The project, which was funded by Kickstarter back in 2011, will premiere at the San Francisco International Film Festival on 5 May, also featuring unseen photos and video footage, as well as interviews with family members and previous collaborators, such as Jon Brion.

Director Nickolas Rossi has described the film as a “visual, melodic love letter of sorts to a musical genius, in the environments that he knew best”.
