Joy Division Screening
Joy Division Special Screening This Weekend at the Mercury
Jon Savage's documentary Joy Division is a must-see! Hot on the heels of Control comes this powerful film that perhaps goes even deeper in exploring the reasons for Ian Curtis's suicide.
Screening for one weekend only, this fascinating documentary is compulsive viewing for anyone who has been touched by the powerful and influential music of Joy Division. Presented by the Media Resource Centre and Big Star Records.
In 1976 four young men from ruined, post-industrial Manchester formed the band Joy Division. Three years later, on the cusp of international stardom, the band was changed forever as art, life and a tragic death tore them apart.
Today, Joy Division’s profound legacy still resonates fiercely in today's heavily careerist music industry. Features extensive archival footage and new interviews with Tony Wilson, Peter Saville, Pete Shelley, Anton Corbijn (director of CONTROL) and all the surviving members of Joy Division.
Special Big Star Screening – 2 nights only!
May 23 and 24
@ Mercury Cinema, 13 Morphett St Adelaide |
