We Are Fugazi From Washington D.C.
18
Created to commemorate the 20 years that have passed since DC-based post-hardcore band Fugazi’s last live appearance (4th November 2002, at London's Forum), We Are Fugazi from Washington, D.C. is comrpised of crowd-sourced, fan-recorded live shows and rare archive footage of Fugazi curated by Joe Gross, Joseph Pattisall and Jeff Krulik.
Explicitly billed as a non-documentary (tHISiSNOTaFUGAZIdOCUMENTARY) the film pays tribute to Fugazi’s prowess as a live act - for old fans to remember and for a new generation to discover what they missed. This unique archival assemblage celebrates the fans and their cameras, as much as the band itself - a collision/collusion of the ephemeral moment on stage, and the moments captured on camera.
Filmmakers' profits from the screening will be donated to a local homeless charity.
This screening is presented in partnership with our friends at Jumbo Records.
Details
“Rough around the edges and stitched together with love, We Are Fugazi is an unashamedly DIY project that beautifully and potently captures what an absolutely fucking ferocious and totally singular group Fugazi were.”
Crack
“There is plenty to marvel at...captures the ‘tops-off’ fervour and the Gang Of Four intensity of the Brendan Canty-Joe Lally rhythm section, while a two-drummer assault on Ex-Spectator shows the mature Fugazi’s mastery of capture/release dynamics.”
Mojo
“Smart, artful, and alive - a remarkable cinematic representation of a band that could only be Fugazi.”
