Murray Center Visiting Artist Tabitha Jackson Presents: 20,000 Days on Earth

Pushing the boundaries of documentary and drama, 20,000 Days on Earth follows 24 hours in the life of Australian writer and musician Nick Cave. Inspired by a calculation that Cave made to figure out his time on earth, directors Iain Forsyth & Jane Pollard reveal Cave’s multilayered artistic process and immense creativity. This screening will be followed by conversation with culture worker, filmmaker, producer, and doc devotee Tabitha Jackson who executive produced 20,000 Days on Earth at Film4, moderated by Robert Greene, Filmmaker-in-Chief at the Jonathan B. Murray Center for Documentary Journalism.
