I thought this might be of interest to some since the Moz is a bit of a Klaus Nomi fan. Palm Pictures has produced a theatrical documentary film of Klaus Nomi called The Nomi Song. The film premieres in both NYC and LA on February 4.

I found this info on http://www.musictap.net/

Andrew Horn's 'The Nomi Song' will be screened the first week of February in Los Angeles and New York City. It is a documentary about the life and music of 80's phenomenon Klaus Nomi, whose song 'Death' was featured on Morrissey's 'Under the Influence' compilation. 'The Nomi Song' took home the coveted Berlin Film Festival's "Teddy Award" in 2004 for 'Best Documentary' and contains lots of rare archival footage and live performances including Nomi's ultimate perfomance of The Cold Song with full orchestra. Also featured is music by seminal artists Wire, The Marbles, The Bongos, Pylon, the Mumps, Chi Pig and David Bowie. This should prove an excellent opportunity to learn more about such an enigmatic figure and the vibrant scene from which he sprung.

The film will be screened for 6 days at LA's Nuart Theatre, with collaborator Kristian Hoffman and Club 57's Ann Magnuson in attendance at the opening on February 4. (What two fascinating No-Wave luminaries! It'd be worth going just to hear their perspectives on Nomi and maybe some East Village stories alone.) It will debut the same day in New York City at Cinema Village with the documentary's director Andrew Horn as the special guest.

    Andrew Horn's documentary film on Klaus Nomi will be screened in LA for 6 days starting February 4 at the Nuart Theatre. Opening night at the Nuart boasts Nomi collaborator Kristian Hoffman and Club 57's Ann Magnuson. Honestly, I bet it'll be worth the price of admission just to hear their Q&A. Between the two of them, they saw it all go down in the East Village.

    The film will be screened in New York City at Cinema Village starting Feb. 4th as well. The guest of honor at the NYC opening will be director Andrew Horn.

    Tickets for both locations can be ordered through the internet links below.
