DC/DOX is a major international film festival hosted in the US capital dedicated to promoting documentary film as a leading art form, championing new voices and innovations in non-fiction storytelling, and using film as a catalyst to engage the most compelling issues of our day.
This is the second year of the festival’s existence this time showing 51 features and 47 shorts from 17 countries, from emerging and established filmmakers, highlighting an array of diverse themes, perspectives, and artistic styles. The coolest part is that all film screenings are followed by Q&As with the filmmakers. The festival runs from June 13 – 16, 2024. It is not too late to clear your calendar and replace it with the film festival!
I am happy to partner with DC/DOX to host a giveaway. There will be an encore screening of Luther: Never Too Much at Landmark E-Street Cinema this Sunday, June 16 at 8:30pm ET. I’ll be giving away two pair of tickets for FREE to this showing. This specific screening will not have a Q&A.

About the film
Luther Vandross always believed he would be a star, but his journey to success was far from overnight. He began his career supporting industry icons like David Bowie, Roberta Flack, and Bette Midler. Despite earning platinum records and accolades, Luther initially struggled to break into mainstream success beyond the R&B charts. Driven by unwavering determination, he overcame personal and professional hurdles, ultimately establishing himself as one of the greatest vocalists in history.
In this captivating musical exploration, acclaimed Festival alum Dawn Porter invites audiences to delve into the iconic singer’s life, celebrated for his singular soulful velvet voice. Through a rich tapestry of archival performances and recording sessions, Porter’s narrative extends beyond the stage, offering insights from musicians and friends, as well as archival interviews with Luther himself. These reveal his humor, struggles, and unyielding dedication to his artistry, against an industry often focused more on his weight fluctuations than the range of his octave.
Luther: Never Too Much is a heartfelt and joyous tribute to Luther Vandross and his music, resonating with profound emotion. For some, it will inspire newfound admiration for Luther, while for others, it will transport them to moments when his timeless melodies were the soundtrack to their lives.
