"For the Love of Dolly," directed by Tai Uhlmann (USA, 2006).

In-Edit pays tribute to a country music icon who left us this summer, the great Dolly Parton, by bringing back the documentary premiered at the festival 20 years ago. The film delicately and humorously delves into the personal stories of a group of die-hard fans and their pilgrimage to Dollywood, the Tennessee singer, actress, and philanthropist’s theme park. The camera follows these superfans—from a couple who turned their home into a museum dedicated to the artist to devotees who overcome any financial hurdle—to explore the limits of admiration and the search for affection. For these vulnerable individuals, Dolly’s voice, aesthetic, and message of universal empathy, working-class pride, and female empowerment served as a sanctuary of healing and acceptance.

Film will be screened in its original version with subtitles in Spanish.

A film in the 2026 edition of the In-Edit International Music Documentary Film Festival.
