Roll Bus Roll: A Jeffrey Lewis Documentary + Q&A | Doc'n Roll Film Festival

Doc’n Roll NYC Film Festival.

Roll Bus Roll spotlights the life and art of Jeffrey Lewis, one of the most prominent musicians associated with New York City’s anti-folk scene. It opens with an exploration of anti-folk, offering a look at a unique movement that challenges traditional folk conventions. We meet Lewis, a self-deprecating genius, on tour across cities and continents, and come to see him via contrasting narratives: his own modest self-assessment, and the views of fans and fellow artists such as Adam Green. The film reaches its emotional climax as he talks about  lost love, revealing the impact of his mental health struggles on the relationship.
