Stewart Copeland
Documentary drummer The Police
Dutch premiere of the film following the life and work of Police drummer Stewart Copeland. With Special Speaking guest: director Pablo Aragüés.
Stewart Copeland is the founder of The Police. In 1977, he was looking for other musicians to play his own songs and encountered the then-unknown jazz bassist Gordon Sumner – nicknamed “Sting” – in a café. The two had a completely different guitarist in mind when Andy Summers – already a successful artist at the time – showed up and The Police were born.
The rest as they say is history. But for Stewart Copeland, the musical story didn’t end with The Police. The band didn’t last as long as they hoped, and Copeland went on to a whole new career in film music. Successful in a completely different than, Sting, who continued to score hit after hit as a solo artist.
In the film “Copeland” by Spanish director Pablo Aragüés, Stewart Copeland himself tells his life story, focusing on the ups and downs of his film and musical career. Aragüés will be personally attending the screening in Tilburg to answer questions from the audience.
