King Crimson fans are in for a treat this weekend with a special streamed screening of the band’s highly anticipated documentary In the Court of the Crimson King, King Crimson at 50.

Directed by Toby Amies (The Man Whose Mind Exploded) the film explores the “acute suffering” and transcendent glory experienced by current and former members of King Crimson, allowing the audience an intimate and sometimes uncomfortable insight into the musicians’ experience as they confront life and death head-on in the world’s most demanding rock band.

In the Court of the Crimson King is not only a film about a group that has been creatively active for 50 years, it’s also a film about music, why it matters, and the painful sacrifices artists have to make in order to create work that changes people’s lives (but with jokes.)

In keeping with King Crimson’s independent approach to the music and entertainment business they have sidestepped traditional broadcast platforms in order to bring the film direct to their fans without further delay or compromise.
