Director Ondi TImoner Present!
DIG! screened at the 2005 Sound Unseen and won the Grand Jury Prize at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival. One of the best rock documentaries of the decade DIG!, comes back for a special repertory screening. Seven years in the making and culled from 2000 hours of footage, DIG! plunges into the underbelly of rock ‘n’ roll, unearthing an incredible true story of success and self-destruction. Anton Newcombe, of the Brian Jonestown Massacre and Courtney Taylor of the Dandy Warhols, front men for each band respectively, are star-crossed friends and bitter rivals. DIG! is the story of their loves and obsessions, gigs and recordings, arrests and death threats, uppers and downers, and the delicate balance between art and business.
Variety & Minnpost.com Film Critic, Rob Nelson, will be on hand to moderate a Q & A following the screening.
Don’t Forget: Ondi Timoner will be receiving a special award from Sound Unseen for her creativity and excellence in Documentary Filmmaking on closing night before the MN Premiere of her latest Sundance award-winning documentary, We Live in Public.
