EXCLUSIVE: Kino Lorber and Zeitgeist Films have acquired North American rights Bruce David Klein’s feature documentary Liza: A Truly Terrific Absolutely True Story which follows the career of and life of Liza Minnelli.

The Atlas Media production made its world premiere at last summer’s Tribeca Film Festival and recently played at the Hamptons Film Festival, Provincetown Film Festival and as a Centerpiece at the NewFest LGBTQ+ Film Festival. Zeitgeist is planning a theatrical run at IFC Center in early 2025 followed by a national rollout.

The deal was negotiated by Emily Russo and Nancy Gerstman, Co-Presidents of Zeitgeist Films and Isadora Johnson of Cinetic. The deal doesn’t include broadcast rights.

Liza: A Truly Terrific Absolutely True Story focuses on the Cabaret Oscar winner’s complex period during the 1970s following the tragic death of her mother Judy Garland as she confronts a range of personal and professional challenges on the way to becoming a legend. Over these years, Minnelli seeks out extraordinary mentors: Kay Thompson, Fred Ebb, Charles Aznavour, Halston, and Bob Fosse. The docu also features her friends and colleagues such as Michael Feinstein, Mia Farrow, Ben Vereen, Chita Rivera and Joel Grey, along with Minnelli herself.

Zeitgeist Co-Presidents Russo and Gerstman are “delighted to give this engaging portrait of one of the world’s most amazing talents a theatrical release as we know it is a huge crowd pleaser that will delight her fans and hopefully win her some new ones of the next generation.”

Klein said “Liza’s electricity as an actress and performer is a wonder to behold. I’m thrilled to work with the Zeitgeist team to bring this complex and surprising story of ‘how Liza became Liza’ to theatrical audiences across the USA.”  

Nine reviews on Rotten Tomatoes are 100% for Liza: A Truly Terrific Absolutely True Story.
