Vive le Punk

2h

50 years after the British Punk explosion, this documentary follows four bands that are still active today (Sham 69, 999, Ruts DC and The Boys) and features interviews with Charlie Harper, Joe Corre, Dr. John Cooper Clarke, Gaye Advert and other Punk Rock luminaries in search for the meaning of Punk and the relevance of its message today. With rare archival footage, explosive live performances, and an unflinching look at the punk ethos in today’s world, this film is not just a retrospective—In a world that mirrors the one Punk once railed against, is the message still relevant—or has it been consumed by commercialism?. This film should appeal to every generation of rebels, misfits, and outsiders. Punk may have started as anarchy in the streets, but it’s far from finished. Vive le Punk!

Vive le Punk is coming to Hollywood Theatre, an independent theater in Portland. First showtime: Sun, Nov 22, 7:00 PM.
