Palm Pictures has unveiled plans to provide a theatrical release for Steven Sebring's Sundance-award winning documentary, Patti Smith: Dream of Life in September 2008.

The film promises a richly layered portrait of the legendary poet, artist, musician. Smith emerged in the 1970's, galvanizing the music scene with her unique style of poetic rage, music and trademark swagger. Sebring, renowned for merging raw realism with high fashion in his portraiture, first met Smith, in 1996, when he photographed her for Spin magazine. Upon seeing her perform, he was so moved that he asked if he might begin filming her - thus beginning the 11-year project.
