Following a screening of "Pavarotti," producer Nigel Sinclair and editor/executive producer Paul Crowder A.C.E attended a Q&A hosted by Cinema Series host Pete Hammond. From the team behind the acclaimed documentary "The Beatles: Eight Days A Week - The Touring Years" and Academy Award-winning® director Ron Howard comes the powerful documentary, "Pavarotti."

A front row seat and in-depth look at legendary Luciano Pavarotti, this powerful film includes history-making performances, intimate interviews with family members, and never-before-seen footage of the celebrated classical singer. Pavarotti became well known among American audiences through the 1990 PBS music special, "Carreras Domingo Pavarotti In Concert" — the first performance given by opera tenors Luciano Pavarotti, Plácido Domingo and José Carreras under the baton of conductor Zubin Mehta at the ancient Baths of Caracalla in Rome.

Nigel Sinclair is known for his work on the Grammy®-winning "The Beatles: Eight Days a Week – The Touring Years," Martin Scorsese’s Emmy®-winning "George Harrison, Living in the Material World," Grammy®-winning, "No Direction Home, Bob Dylan," the Oscar®-winning "Undefeated," the Grammy®-winning "Foo Fighters, Back and Forth," the Emmy® and Grammy®-nominated "Amazing Journey: The Story of the Who" and "Luciano Pavarotti and The Apollo," which was the opening film at the 2019 Tribeca Film Festival. The film will debut on HBO this fall. Other film credits include "Sliding Doors," "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines," Alan Parker’s "The Life of David Gale," "The Quiet American" and "The Wedding Planner."

Paul Crowder A.C.E. is known for his work on "Dogtown and Z Boys," "Riding Giants," "Once in a Lifetime: The Extraordinary Story of the New York Cosmos," "Amazing Journey: The Story of the WHO," "Last Play at Shea" and "1: Life On The Limit," "Sound City," "The Beatles: Eight Days a Week – The Touring Years" and "Do You Trust This Computer."
