SEARCHING FOR SUGAR MAN is film #7 in FOMO Secret Cinema's week-long Music Film Fest.
SEARCHING FOR SUGARMAN follows two fans investigating the fate of a forgotten musician whose work unexpectedly transformed lives on another continent. The film unfolds like a detective story, guided by the persistence of listeners unwilling to let an artist vanish.
Music becomes a bridge between cultures. Songs travel further than their creator, building a mythology that outgrows biography. Bendjelloul structures the search around the emotional power of discovery, revealing how art can survive neglect and return with renewed force.
The film celebrates the endurance of melody and memory. It suggests that obscurity and greatness can coexist, waiting for the right ears to reconnect the circuit.
