Documentary: Vive Le Punk

'Vive Le Punk' is a 1993 documentary that has only recently been seen. It focuses on the build up of The Chamber of Pop Culture's first exhibition. It also contains the only (apprently) filmed conersation between Westwood and creative partner Malcolm McLaren, where they talk about their designs and ideas.

i-D magazine said '...the result is a remarkable, insightful, comic, uncomfortable, wonderful and charming documentation...'

Sounds rather good, doesn't it?

Documentary: I Think We're Alone Now

"I think we're alone now. There doesn't seem to be anyone around..."

The irony of this song is that, according to Sean Donnelly, Tiffany is never alone. 'I Think We're Alone Now' is a dark and innovative journey into the lives of obsessed (understatement of the year) Tiffany fans. The singer (famous in the '80's for having red hair and dancing in a lot of shopping centres) is the eye of a very bizarre storm as we are taken on a journey into the secret lives of obsession.

The fans (ok, stalkers... look, I'm trying to be sensitive here), originally seem comical. On face value, one might think Louis Theroux has gone Box Office. But soon, we are left feeling uneasy witnessing the lonliness, frustration and, worst of all, unrequited love these people feel. Rejected from society, they have one person to turn to and it just so happens to be Tiffany.

This distressing yet poignant documentary will be playing at The Raindance Film festival, in London, from September 30 - October 11. Check out the trailor. Chilling stuff!
