- DirectorJúlia NagyStarsGéza BarcsikJello BiafraAttila GrandpierreA documentary about the music and life, since the beginnings in 1975 of the one and only Central European music group, which has made an international career, the favourite band of Iggy Pop and Henry Rollins: The Galloping Coroners (Die Rasenden Leichenbeschauer, Vágtázó Halottkémek). The scandalous and "banned for more than 11 years" band is not only the most prominent of those Central European bands which revolted against the communist system, but also a theatre, which gained the attention of the audience with its unique body-art performances. Through the story of the favourite underground band of the Hungarian and international media, we can see the aesthetic preferences of the late Central European socialist system and the altering system, which followed it.

- DirectorJoe AngioStarsVito AcconciFred ArmisenRico BellREVENGE OF THE MEKONS charts the unlikely career of the genre-defying collective notorious for being--as rock critic Greil Marcus notes--"the band that took punk ideology most seriously." Born out of the 1977 British punk scene, the Mekons progressed from a group of socialist art students with no musical skills to the prolific, raucous progeny of Hank Williams. Joe Angio's exuberant documentary follows their improbable history - a surprising and influential embrace of folk and country music, forays into the art world and consistent bad luck with major record labels. Featuring interviews with celebrated fans, from author Jonathan Franzen to film director Mary Harron to comedian/musician Fred Armisen, REVENGE OF THE MEKONS reveals how, four decades into an ever-evolving career, punk's reigning contrarians continue to make bold, unpredictable music while staying true to the punk ethos.

- DirectorJeff AlulisStarsGreg AttonitoTimmy ChunksBrian DowneyIn 1987, four New Jersey teenagers wrote a punk song called "Braindead." It was terrible. But it was also a blast. And it was enough for the members of The Bouncing Souls to turn away from the path of College and Career to pursue their music. Fifteen years later, The Bouncing Souls have signed with Epitaph Records, toured four continents, and played with countless legendary punk bands, including Fugazi, Bad Brains, Green Day, Agnostic Front, The Descendents, and The Ramones. But it wasn't always so glamorous. For years the band struggled with obscurity, homelessness, and more than its share of breakdowns (both mental and vehicular). Culled from over 400 hours of archive footage shot and collected by lead singer Greg Attonito, and over 50 hours of interviews with the band and their extended family of friends, Do You Remember? is the story of the good times and the bad, and the music that was born out of both.

City Gardens was a venue for underground music and during its time it traversed the entertainment spectrum; from the comedy of Henny Youngman to Nine Inch Nails, New Order to Nirvana. Riot on the Dance Floor is a journey of musical champions and underdogs and above all, the freedom and liberation of having complete creative control.

- DirectorSusan DynnerStarsCraig AaronsonColin AbrahallAdriOn the edge of the 30th anniversary of punk rock, Punk's Not Dead takes you into the sweaty underground clubs, backyard parties, recording studios, and yes, shopping malls and stadium shows where punk rock music and culture continue to thrive. Thirty years after bands like the Ramones and the Sex Pistols infamously shocked the system with their hard, fast, status-quo-killing rock, the longest-running punk band in history is drawing bigger crowds than ever, "pop-punk" bands have found success on MTV, and kids too young to drive are forming bands that carry the torch for punk's raw, immediate sound. Meanwhile, "punk" has become a marketing concept to sell everything from cars to vodka, and dyed hair and piercings mark a rite of passage for thousands of kids. Can the true, nonconformist punk spirit still exist in today's corporatized culture? Featuring interviews, performances, and behind-the-scenes journeys with the bands, labels, fans, and press who keep punk alive, Punk's Not Dead dares to juxtapose pop-punk's music and lifestyle against the roots in the 70s and 80s, resulting in unexpected revelations. A DIY search for the soul of a subculture and a celebration of all things loud, fast, and spiked, Punk's Not Dead shows punk is stronger and more relevant today than it's ever been.
