Scott Walker: 30 Century Man
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Scott Walker: 30 Century Man is a documentary film about Scott Walker. The film gets its title from the Scott 3 song "30 Century Man". It is directed and co-produced by Stephen Kijak, with Grant Gee serving as director of photography. It charts Walker's career in music, with a focus on his songwriting, and features exclusive footage of recording sessions for his most recent album, The Drift including the percussive punching of a joint of pork. Rock legend David Bowie, who often professes to have been inspired by Walker, acted as executive producer of the film.
The film received its world premiere at the London Film Festival on 31st October 2006 and will be on general distribution in early 2007.
In addition to Walker himself, interviewees in the film include David Bowie, Radiohead, Jarvis Cocker, Brian Eno, Damon Albarn, Marc Almond, Alison Goldfrapp, Sting, Dot Allison, Simon Raymonde, Richard Hawley, Rob Ellis, Johnny Marr, Gavin Friday, Lulu, Peter Olliff, Angela Morley (arranger of Walker's sixties' recordings as Wally Stott), Ute Lemper, Ed Bicknell, Evan Parker, Benjamin Biolay, Hector Zazou, Mo Foster, Phil Sheppard, and Peter Walsh.
