DIG! XX
15
DIG! XX looks at the collision of art and commerce through the star-crossed friendship and bitter rivalry of dueling rock bands — The Dandy Warhols and The Brian Jonestown Massacre.
Through their loves and obsessions, gigs, arrests and death threats, uppers and downers, and ultimately to their chance at a piece of the profit-driven music business, they stage a self-proclaimed revolution in the music industry.
Internationally-acclaimed, Emmy-nominated filmmaker, Ondi Timoner's work consistently focuses on “impossible visionaries''. In this re-release to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the film's original run, Timoner has added additional material in such as way as to bring this epic tale through into the present day.

“One of the best rock documentaries of all time is back in cinemas for a restored and extended edition.”
Shortlist
“The compassion in this new cut doesn’t undercut the many scenes of bad behavior, rock-star excess, self-defeating egotism, and descent into junkiedom. It simply underscores the fact that, 20 years later, the creators of DIG XX bring a new level of wisdom, understanding, and forgiveness to what they witnessed all those years ago.”
