This
in-depth,
visceral
documentary
by Todd
Phillips
looks
at the
last true rock & roll outlaw
and
his
music
through
the
1980’s
and
early
'90s,
including
interviews
with
GG,
his
band,
friends,
family
and
fans,

chaotic self destructive live
shows
and
spoken
word
performance
footage. Always threatening to commit suicide on stage, GG died of a drug overdose in ‘93. |
A journey to the heart of the Mother City and a beat called Goema. With indigenous roots, colonial influence and shaped by Cape Town's slave history, Goema's blueprint lies in the City's carnival culture. The documentary charts the evolution of this musical genre. Winner of Best Feature at the Tri-Continental Film Festival. |
The outrageous Wendy O. Williams and The Plasmatics blurred the lines between Punk and Metal, defying the expected testosterone domination with her hot body, gravel voice and wild stage shows incl. blowing up cars and chain-sawing guitars! This documentary looks at this unique band and the waves they created across a decade. |
The Creators explores the chaotic reality of modern day South Africa by peering through the eyes of its artists. Born into separate areas of the formerly-segregated country, the subjects recraft history in their own artistic languages. Weaving through the lives of Faith47 (street art), Warongx (afro-blues), Emile (hip-hop), Sweat.X (performance art), Blaq Pearl (spoken word) and Mthetho (opera), the film culminates in an intertwined multi-plot. |
Reality Check TV hits the venues and backstage, with a dip into their archives packed with raw, underground live footage and interviews with Punk legends like Johnny Rotten (Sex Pistols), Jello Biafra (Dead Kennedys), The Ramones, The Misfits, NOFX, Bad Religion, Becky Bondage
(Vice Squad), MDC, Fear and many more. |

film

camp,

season,
