It’s been nearly 12 years since Elliott Smith—the singer-songwriter known as much for his struggles with addiction as for his haunting, deeply personal music—killed himself, but his legacy continues to expand. Most recently, songwriters Jessica Lea Mayfield and Seth Avett (of Avett Brothers’ fame) released an album of Smith covers; before that, there was a spate of biographies, a posthumous compilation of his unreleased tracks, and countless Cobain-esque conspiracy theories about the nature of his death. Now there’s Heaven Adores You, a documentary that traces the musician’s sphere of influence across time and space. Read more >>> The film shows at 7 p.m. at the Howard Theatre, 620 T St. NW. $10–$15.
