The film by Maurice Linnane will be shown at a gala screening at St Anne's Church in Limehouse, East London on 3 July and features previously-unseen footage of Winehouse in concert recorded at the Church of Saint James in Dingle, County Kerry in 2006, the year that the classic Back To Black album was released.

The singer and songwriter also discusses some of her inspirations - Mahalia Jackson, Ray Charles, Thelonious Monk, Sarah Vaughan, Carleen Anderson, Soweto Kinch and The Shangri-la’s.

The East End Film Festival takes place between 1-8 July.
