Amy Winehouse

Asif Kapadia’s documentary on the late English singer Amy Winehouse is set to get a midnight screening at this year’s Cannes Film Festival.

Festival organizers revealed that the film would be screened alongside a “musical accompaniment” from her record label, Universal.

The film was acquired by A24 for North American rights. It is set to bow in the U.K. on July 3, less than a month shy of the fourth anniversary of the singer’s death.

The first one-minute long trailer for the documentary debuted at Universal Music Group’s pre-Grammy brunch in February.

Winehouse, who rose to international fame with her second album, Back to Black, died on July 23, 2011, from alcohol poisoning.
