dancewithliz Jini Dellaccio was the first to capture what it means to be a rock star and human at the same time. She shows us real musicians in their beauty, glory, and exhaustion, interacting authentically with their surroundings and their collaborators. It was so thrilling for me to watch this pure art process come to life on the screen. Personally I would love for many more people to be aware of the enormous contribution that Jini has made to American art. Witnessing true, passionately-created art brings energy and joy to our hearts. I saw this happen before my eyes at a recent screening of Her Aim Is True, where every audience member was touched by the power, authenticity, and purity that the work of this artist brings to our heritage.
Victor Smith If you get the opportunity to see this movie - and hopefully it will soon be in much wider release - by all means see it. What we have here is a perfect example of how film can truly make a difference by recording for generations to come a maverick artist who may otherwise have remained unknown to a wider audience. This film not only captures the sounds and the vibe of the music scene of the Pacific Northwest in the 60s and 70s, it also uses footage from interviews with this maverick artist to give a true sense of what it is like to cross boundaries of age, gender and cultural difference to truly connect and understand another person and, through this understanding, capture the essence of another person through photography. There is a lesson for all of us both as creators and appreciators of the arts. This was a true inspiration. Brava!
Garciajaa ***This Review May Contain Spoilers***For anyone who enjoys documentaries, photography, popular music (have I covered everyone yet?), this is a movie you will appreciate. Her Aim is True has it all - interesting story that flows well, fun and sympathetic characters, a great soundtrack, some funny moments, and high quality production. If you don't know Jini's story, you should. It is hard to believe that a society obsessed with celebrity and popular culture has overlooked this rock photography pioneer with close ties to the early days of the burgeoning rock and alternative music scene. Plus, she took that iconic photo of the reclusive Neil Young! She photographed the Stones! If you do know Jini's story, you won't want to miss this in-depth look at her life and her work.
Kathi Rabil I am passionate about 'Herstory,' the perspective of history that holds up the accomplishments of women who were risk-takers, ahead of their time, and willing to forge the way for those who come after. I think there are too many stories that have been lost and am excited to see Karen Whitehead pick up the baton and champion one such lost hero. Karen's love for Jini, for her humility and grace shine through. Kudo's to Karen for taking to risk to tell this story about an unlikely hero that should inspire us all!Hat's off to Jini, for following her heart and recognizing the promise of youth. And regards, to her husband, who supported her efforts wholeheartedly.
