A British director will use previously unseen footage
in a new documentary about the late singer Amy Winehouse.
Asif Kapadia
won a Bafta for his 2010 documentary film Senna, which was about Brazilian F1
champion Ayrton Senna.
"Amy was a
once-in-a-generation talent," said Asif Kapadia in a joint statement with
film producer James Gay-Rees. "She wrote and sung from the heart."
The singer died
in 2011 at the age of 27 from alcohol poisoning.
"Everyone
fell under her spell," said the statement released by the film director
and producer.
"But
tragically, Amy seemed to fall apart under the relentless media attention, her
troubled relationships, her global success and precarious lifestyle," Asif
Kapadia and James Gay-Rees added.
The documentary
about Amy Winehouse will be similar to the award winning film Senna, which was
shown worldwide in cinemas in 2011.
The Brazilian
Formula 1 racing driver died at the age of 34.
Ayrton Senna
was killed in a crash while leading the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix. He remains
the last driver fatality in the sport.
In the film,
there is footage taken by the Senna family and interviews with friends.
It finishes
with people mourning at his funeral.
The Amy
Winehouse film has yet to be given a title, but it is hoped it will be shown at
Cannes Film Festival in May.
