Violet Crown Santa Fe presents acclaimed film “Patti Smith: Dream of Life” in partnership with SITE Santa Fe.

Shot over 11 years by renowned fashion photographer Steven Sebring, “Patti Smith: Dream of Life” is an intimate portrait of the legendary rocker, poet and artist. Following Smith’s personal reflections over a decade, the film explores her many art forms and the friends and poets who inspired her — William Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg, Bob Dylan, Robert Mapplethorpe and Michael Stipe. She emerges as a crucial, contemporary link between the Beats, punks and today’s music. Shot in lush, dark tones, featuring rare performance clips and narrated by the artist herself, “Patti Smith: Dream of Life” is an impressionistic journal of a multi-faceted artist that underscores her unique place in American culture.

This event serves as a preview to Patti Smith’s upcoming sold-out appearance at the Lensic Performing Arts Center January 19th, presented by SITE Santa Fe.
