Seven Easy Pieces
Everybody knows that heaps of awesome wacked out shit happened in the seventies. But the decade wasn’t all about disco and deep throat and Doobie Brothers and Dr Who, you know. Apparently some pretty seminal performance art went down too – the only thing is that nobody really documented any of it.
What We Do Is Secret
Darby Crash may have died age 22, but his legacy lives on with the release of What We Do Is Secret. Following the meagre success, yet massive influence, that LA punk outfit The Germs had within the music scene, What We Do Is Secret follows the life and ultimate death of the band’s ill-fated front man through a 92 minute biopic of confusion, deception, hate and turmoil.
QNFA Public Screenings and Awards Ceremony
‘Presentation Evening' That's what my school called its award ceremony. It was kind of novel ‘cause if you were smart and/or sporty (in my case both) then you got to have a day off school, go to the practise and watch everyone pretend-accept awards, all whilst eating lots of junk food like it was entertainment or something.
You, the Living premiere for BIFF
Tom Cochraine knew what life was about and to a lesser extent so did Ace of Base,and arguably so did Morrissey but probably not this guy.
As reassuring as it may seem to tell yourself ‘Life is a highway I want to ride it all night long' sometimes it doesn't hurt to engage in a slightly deeper dialogue about life and the human condition.
BIFF - My Winnipeg
Breast milk! Betrayed! Wake up, Winnipegger! Even the titles that flash up during Guy Maddin's My Winnipeg are infectious. It's a kinda-sorta love-hate documentary about his hometown, populated by dreamers, lorded over by his all-powerful mother, and made mythical by an avalanche of surreal new facts.
American Teen
If you’ve seen one American teenage film you’ve seen them all. While it’s obviously testing for us as cinemagoers to watch the same old sex, drugs, drama and insecurity that plays out in these high-school sitcoms, imagine how hard it is for film-makers and directors still interested in cinematic explorations of this treacherous and fascinating period of life?
Instead of making another ‘American Pie’ or ‘Mean Girls’ or ‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ director Nanette Burstein thankfully decided to work with something a lot more fascinating – actual real high school students from American’s actual Midwest.
