Pre-premiere screening. 'Billie' is a snapshot into the turbulent life of Billie Holiday, one of the world's greatest and most legendary jazz singers. The film is told through the eyes of one of her biggest fans, Linda Lipnack Kuehl, who in 1971 began working on a comprehensive biography of Holiday. Over eight years, she recorded over 200 hours of interview with those who knew Holiday best. Kuehl's book was never completed, and the many interviews, as well as the many, newly restored concert recordings, have not been published before.***
'Billie' er et inciterende møde med en af verdens største og mest sagnomspundne jazzsangere - og begivenhederne i hendes korte, turbulente liv. Filmen er fortalt gennem en af hendes største fans, Linda Lipnack Kuehl, som i 1971 påbegyndte arbejdet på en omfattende biografi om Holiday. Over en periode på otte år optog hun over 200 timer interviews med dem, som kendte hende bedst, heriblandt Charles Mingus, Tony Bennett, Sylvia Syms og Count Basie. Bogen blev aldrig færdiggjort, og de mange interview har heller ikke været offentliggjort før - ej heller de mange, nyrestaurerede koncertoptagelser.
