I had put this in "Liam Thoughts of the Day", but here is its own thread.
Cannes: Liam Gallagher Doc 'As It Was' Landing in Market

Liam Gallagher
The former Oasis frontman is getting the documentary treatment (this time without his brother).
Liam Gallagher is heading to Cannes.
A documentary about the former Oasis frontman, Liam Gallagher: As It Was, will be making its market debut, with Altitude looking after international sales. Altitude will also co-distribute in the U.K. with Lorton Entertainment. The news comes just two years after the release of the doc Oasis: Supersonic, which Lorton also helped distribute.
Currently in production, the film is directed by Charlie Lightening, renowned in the music and live entertainment industry having made films with artists including Noel Gallagher, Robbie Williams, Bjork, and Kasabian. He also produced the live concert 12/12/12 featuring Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones, The Who and Bruce Springsteen which raised funds for victims of Hurricane Sandy in 2012, watched by over 20 million people and co-directed and exec produced the 12/12/12 feature documentary which was theatrically released in the US.
For the last ten years Lightening has also been working with Paul McCartney, documenting him on the road.
Liam Gallagher: As It Was will be the emotional story of how one of the greatest rock frontmen went from the dizzying heights of his champagne supernova years in Oasis to living on the edge ostracised lost in the musical wilderness of boredom, booze and bitter legal battles. The film will see Liam emerging from Noel’s shadow managing the expectation going from being in the biggest band in the world to starting again alone, stripped bare, with no-where to hide.
"As It Was is a documentary about my musical comeback," said Gallagher. "It covers the writing and recording of my first solo album, right through to playing it live for the very first time in my hometown of Manchester and around the world. I hope you enjoy the film... As You Were."
Added Lightening: "Having known Liam both personally and creatively over the past 10 years, to see him back where he should be, and to see the reaction to him once again has been amazing. For Liam to let me in, to be there to capture it all, up close and personal and to tell the whole story in his own words makes for an amazing film. One of the greatest rock’n’roll comebacks of all times and you are there with him each step of the way."
Liam Gallagher: As It Was is being produced by Steven Lappin (Springsteen and I, George Michael: Freedom, A Night With Beyonce) and financed and executive produced by Lorton Entertainment.

Well this is objective proof that Liam's solo career is better than Noel's. Did Noel have a feature length documentary after his first album? Nope

Can see this getting torn to shreds by the people at Cannes.

Cannes starts on the 8th (I think). When are we likely to see it?

"Lightening, who has previously worked with Liam's brother Noel (uh oh), Sir Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen, Bjork and Robbie Williams, added that the film will chronicle "one of the greatest rock ’n’ roll comebacks of all times and you are there with him each step of the way”.
What did Lightening do with Noel? A music video? I haven't been following NGHFB stuff that closely.

Supersonic was great, not sure about this though.
It was a fantastic comeback but not convinced it warrants a documentary.

"not convinced it warrants a documentary"
No one should expect it to be even close to Supersonic. That'd be just stupid thing to expect.
I wouldn't mind seeing a LDSMD type of documentary of Liam's comeback. It'd be fun to watch.

Nope If feature length documentaries are what make musicians great, hopefully we can all agree that Spinal Tap are the greatest band of all time? X  (Spice Girls close second of course) |

Whenever there's some interesting material at film festivals that I want to watch, it takes years to be available to the public, or for some reason it never does.

Supersonic was debuted at Cannes too. Don’t worry, this will definitely come out. The cash cow’s udders are bulbous and need milking. X |
