If you’re interested in music, you might be interested in some of the films showing this year at the Raindance Film Festival. We’ve got a great line-up with music documentaries from all across the music spectrum and films from countries all over the world.
We’re also hosting loads of special events, including four nights of networking drinks (a great chance to meet the indie stars of tomorrow), a Music and Film panel, and the Radar Music Panel (where you can meet some of the latest pop promo directors).
The music documentaries we’re screening cover all tastes of music including:
BREAKING ROCKS
From UK
This inspiring documentary tells the story of Jail Guitar Doors, Billy Bragg's independent initiative which aims to provide instruments to prison inmates using music to achieve rehabillitation. The film, screening at Proud Galleries, Camden, will be followed by a gig featuring Billy Bragg, Get Cape Wear Cape Fly, Mick Jones (The Clash), Wayne Kramer (MC5), Chris Shiflett (Foo Fighters) and the JGD Graduates.
