Mitchell Kezin’s celebration of Christmas music had its world premiere at IDFA last year. It has gone on to screen at DOC NYC, New Orleans, Cleveland, Lone Star, St Louis, and Whistler.
I previously wrote about the film for DOC NYC’s program, saying:
Ever since he was a kid, Mitchell Kezin has loved Christmas music. But the likes of “Santa Claus is Coming to Town” and “White Christmas” don’t excite the filmmaker – he’s on a search for the twelve best, under-appreciated Christmas songs ever recorded. His infectious quest leads him to other holiday music fanatics, including hip hop legend Joseph “Rev Run” Simmons of RUN-DMC, The Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne and filmmaker John Waters, and uncovers such unexpected tunes as “Santa Claus Was a Black Man” and “Christmas in Vietnam.”
