This collection of short films represents a hint of the tectonic shift in the underground film world in connection with the punk rock “movement.” Restored from original negatives, it showcases the reasonably well-known alongside the extremely rare, from music shorts to impressionistic documentary.

Viewing Notes
Really cool doc that features old / lost punk videos & interviews by The Offs, The Residents, Avengers, and others. The Avengers remind me of The Distillers now.
This was a ByNWR restoration, which is no surprise.

Nice! I’ll have to track this down and watch it at some point.

Looks like it will stream on ByNWR in November: https://www.bynwr.com/volumes/you-aint-no-punk-you-punk-1
Def thought of you while viewing. Love seeing the footage and of course The Residents’ videos are great.

Excellent! I haven’t watched anything on his site yet. Guess I should check it out.

I haven’t watched anything from the website but I know others that have. MUBI has been programming ByNWR features at a one per month clip so I’ve seen them via MUBI. Most aren’t all that great but weird oddities akin to what AGFA or Something Weird would release.

I get a 90 free trial of Mubi as a Victory reward, maybe I should finally sign up and give it a shot.

I *love* MUBI. It’s an arthouse cinema platform in which I often wish I had the time to view everything they program. Def recommend doing the trial (perhaps after October) to check it out. I’ve been fortunate that my HDTV had the app available (as does my Blu-ray player but PQ never looked as good thru it compared to my TV).
