The 10th edition of Silverdocs, the annual documentary film festival sponsored by the American Film Institute and the Discovery Channel, announced its opening and closing films yesterday.

And for the second year in a row, Silverdocs is going with a musical to get things started.

The festival, which runs from June 18 to 24 at the AFI Silver Theatre in Silver Spring, will kick off with Don’t Stop Believing: Everyman’s Journey. We know, we know. Journey? Actually, the story told in Ramona Diaz’s documentary is pretty wild, following the path of Arnel Pineda, a Filipino singer and cover-band frontman who in December 2007 was tapped to be Journey’s new lead singer.

Whatever misgivings one might have about Journey—and there are plenty to be had, not the least of which might have to do with a certain fictional mobster and a bowl of onion rings—Don’t Stop Believing: Everyman’s Journey seems more promising than the morose, watery drivel that opened Silverdocs in 2011. Last year’s opener, The Swell Season, followed the duo of the same name in a nonfiction sequel to the 2007 sadsack musical romance Once.

Closing this year’s Silverdocs, meanwhile, will be Big Easy Express, a tour diary starring Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zero, Mumford & Sons and Old Crow Medicine Show. We know the least of that third group, but the other two are, well, kind of annoying.

Silverdocs’ full slate will be announced tomorrow.
