The Unexpected Return of Mr. Meek
English. Directed by Russell Caligari.
He's back, haven't you heard?
A feature-length music documentary that explores the groundbreaking career and queerness of Joe Meek, a pioneering 1960s British record producer. Celebrated for shaping modern music with innovative techniques and collaborations with icons like David Bowie, Meek's story is also marked by his struggle as a gay man in an era when homosexuality was illegal in the UK. The film uses AI to bring Meek’s voice back to narrate his own story, shedding light on his mental health battles and the dark, hostile environment he faced. Contemporary artists reimagine his unreleased tracks, connecting past and present while revealing new perspectives on his tragic life and legacy as a queer icon.
