About the Film
Directed by Cameron Crowe, Singles (1992) follows a group of 20-something friends navigating the complexities of love, friendship and life in the fast-paced world of Seattle’s grunge music scene. At its heart, it’s a love story, propelled by an iconic soundtrack with hits from Seattle-based legends Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains and more. This film is a celebration of the music that defined a generation, and it’s a chance to experience those legendary sounds on the big screen.
