What happens
Peefeeyatko is a 1991 biographical art film written and directed by Henning Lohner about and in collaboration with acclaimed American composer Frank Zappa. Running 59 minutes, the documentary essay has been called "an intimate music portrait," allowing an insight into the composer's secluded world. Featuring discussions with Zappa himself as well as interviews with friends, colleagues and famous contemporaries of the composer, the production focuses on Zappa executing his compositional work, including footage in Zappa's studio environment, marking the first time Zappa allowed a film crew to study and accompany him during his artistic process. Zappa's entire soundtrack was an original composition, exclusively released through this film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
