A wild and free-spirited documentary – featuring many of Chilly Gonzales’ collaborators over the years, including Daft Punk, Feist, Jarvis Cocker and Peaches – charts his career and perfectly captures his incredible energy.

The son of Hungarian Jews who fled to Canada during the war, musician Jason Beck, better known as Chilly Gonzales, is a boundary-breaking artist.

A Grammy-winning composer and virtuoso pianist, his career over the last two decades has been defined by his continuous exploration of radically different influences, from punk and rap to chamber music.

Presented by the UK Jewish Film Festival.
