SUMMARY:Fugazi: Instrument screening + Leeds Cineforum 10th bday party
DESCRIPTION:A Scalarama Film Festival screening + Leeds Cineforum's 10th an
 niversay bday party!\n\nInstrument (1999) is an experimental documentary d
 irected by Jem Cohen\, who filmed post-hardcore Washington D.C. band Fugaz
 i’s tours\, rehearsals\, member interviews and recording sessions betwee
 n 1987 and 1998. The documentary mixes quiet\, intimate moments and high-e
 nergy performances\, such as singer and guitarist Guy Picciotto dangling u
 pside-down from a basketball hoop during a concert\, creating a compelling
  portrait of the band and their fans. The film successfully captures the r
 eality of the daily life of a touring band beyond Fugazi’s mythical repu
 tation and the misconceptions related to their non-violent and anti-capita
 list views. Cohen’s mix of super8\, 16mm and video aligns with Fugazi’
 s DIY ethos and style\, resulting in a film that feels both aesthetically 
 accomplished and authentic. Fugazi also recorded the soundtrack to the fil
 m\, a mostly instrumental album that is widely loved by fans for its exper
 imental and playful nature. \n\nThe film will be introduced by Alice Borch
 i (she/her)\, long-time Fugazi fan and ice cream-eating academic.\n\nIn th
 e same DIY spirit\, after the screening\, we'll celebrate the 10th anniver
 sary of Leeds Cineforum. We've got plenty of surprises in store\, so don't
  miss it!\n\nDetails and tickets: https://mulch.info/events/fugazi-instrum
