Check out video & photos from Thursday evening’s BIRDMAN performance by composer/drummer Antonio Sanchez with an introduction by Michael Keaton at the ACE Hotel.

Making the unique choice for the BIRDMAN soundtrack, director Alejandro G. Iñárritu went with an almost total drum score by the four-time Grammy Award winner.

Known for creative fearlessness and a meticulous approach to their craft, actors Michael Keaton (BATMAN, BEETLEJUICE, JACKIE BROWN) and Edward Norton (25TH HOUR, AMERICAN HISTORY X, FIGHT CLUB) will appear at AFI FEST for a very special discussion covering their unconventional careers. Keaton and Norton co-star in Alejandro González Iñárritu‘s current release, BIRDMAN OR (THE UNEXPECTED VIRTUE OF IGNORANCE).

BIRDMAN or The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance is a black comedy that tells the story of an actor (Michael Keaton) – famous for portraying an iconic superhero – as he struggles to mount a Broadway play. In the days leading up to opening night, he battles his ego and attempts to recover his family, his career, and himself.

The film is nominated for nine Academy Awards.

RISK. TRUTH. LOVE. ABOVE ALL.
