Jimi Plays Berkeley returns to theaters this November in a 4K restoration drawn from the original 16mm film. The documentary captures Jimi Hendrix at two May 30, 1970 concerts at the Berkeley Community Theatre. Longtime Hendrix engineer Eddie Kramer prepared the new stereo mix.
The initial screenings include November 14 and 17 at Rialto Cinemas Elmwood in Berkeley and November 16 at Rialto Cinemas in Sebastopol. Seattle’s Museum of Pop Culture will host a November 21 screening with a Janie Hendrix Q&A.
Select screenings also include a short film from the Miami Pop Festival. The film’s official site lists showtimes and identifies screenings with the short.
