The documentary by writers/directors Michael Mabbott and Lucah Rosenberg-Lee unspools the complicated life of soul singer Jackie Shane, who was born in Nashville but found success in Montreal and Toronto in the 1960s.
When: Friday, Aug. 16; Saturday, Aug. 17; Monday, Aug. 19; Thursday, Aug. 22The story of soul singer Jackie Shane had an air of mystery to it, for reasons which are revealed in the new documentary, Any Other Way: The Jackie Shane Story.
Any Other Way — named after Shane’s signature song from 1962 — was produced for the National Film Board of Canada by Banger Films, the award-winning Toronto production company co-founded by Scot McFadyen and Sam Dunn. The University of Victoria graduates serve as executive producers on the new documentary, which premieres Friday at the Vic Theatre.
“She was living the life of someone who was born male but identified as female, at a time when fully expressing yourself in that way was dangerous. Many who loved her music wondered where she disappeared to. She was a hit on the Toronto club circuit, and had some success in Canada. And then she basically disappeared.”
Dunn and McFadyen have completed more than 30 projects under the Banger Films banner, including Metal: A Headbanger’s Journey , Iron Maiden: Flight 666 , Rush: Beyond the Lighted Stage , Hip-Hop Evolution , and Long Time Running, a 2017 documentary about the Tragically Hip’s final tour. Any Other Way has been one of the more remarkable ones to produce, according to Dunn, as it required extensive rotoscope animation to make up for the lack of video footage.
