Hung Up on a Dream: The Zombies Documentary (With Director Q&A)

In their first ever feature documentary nearly sixty years after they met as teenagers before the British Invasion music scene, THE ZOMBIES tell their story of navigating the tumultuous music industry over the decades and making one of the most influential albums of all time, Odessey and Oracle. “She’s Not There” made them the first British band after The Beatles to reach #1 in the US. After years of touring and many missteps in the 60s, sadly the band missed out on their biggest moment yet, when “Time of the Season” hit #1 and became a global success, inspiring new generations each year. The band looks back on their journey, where true friendship led them to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Director Robert Schwartzman will be joining us via Zoom for Q&A after the film.

“‘Hung Up on a Dream: The Zombies Documentary’ doesn’t care about stardom or stats. It cares about the soul of music, the kind that takes root, disappears, then returns like a ghost at the edge of memory.” (Film Threat)

“It’s the time and season of the resurgence of The Zombies. I thought this was a wonderfully illuminating look at the talented 60s rock band, that any fan or lover of music should visit.” (Film Inquiry)
