Sound and Fury: Punks on Film
From the anti-establishment rejects who like their music fast and loud to the speculative cyber punks bringing anarchy to other worlds, punk is a keenly identifiable subculture that has found its place in the visual language of cinema across decades.
Sound and Fury: Punks on Film will explore varying representations of punk rockers in cinema and discuss how different filmmakers employ the subculture’s DIY ethos and outsider aesthetics to comment on political and social conflict, as well the ever persistent clashing of youth culture with the status quo.
Films:
9/2: REPO MAN (1984, 92 min)
9/9: BURST CITY (1982, 116 min)
9/16: WE ARE THE BEST! (2013, 102 min)
9/23: SLC PUNK! (1999, 108 min)
This class is taught by MMU Instructor Tracy Kernell, a filmmaker and artist working with moving images to explore the intersections of Black vernacular culture, music, and archival practices
Movies will be screened at the Movie Madness Miniplex, followed by an instructor-led discussion. Classes will begin on Monday, September 2nd, and be held each Monday evening through September 23rd at 6:30pm.
Class size will be limited to 18.
