A screening of Jonathan Caouette’s extraordinary documentary All Tomorrow’s Parties in honour of the tenth anniversary of the Indie music festival of that name, founded by Barry Hogan in 1999, as part of the CROSSROADS festival.

The National Museum of Cinema dedicates this month’s usual CROSSROADS evening to Jonathan Caouette’s film All Tomorrow’s Parties, produced by Warp Films, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Indie music festival of that name. The film-documentary will be screened at Cinema Massimo on Saturday, the 15th of May at 8.45 p.m., with a second showing at 10.30 p.m. Admission: 4 euros.

Over the years, All Tomorrow’s Parties – the Indie music festival founded by Barry Hogan in 1999 in England – has become an absolute benchmark for all lovers of contemporary rock music. Moreover, the organisation of every edition is handed over to a band. From 2000 until today, Mogwai, Tortoise, Shellac, Sonic Youth and many other important figures in the independent scene have had a go. To celebrate the event’s 10th anniversary, Warp Films has produced an extraordinary documentary which combines amateur footage filmed by the members of the public (even using mobile phones) with footage filmed by professionals of the calibre of Vincent Moon, a true rising star in the field of European videoclips. Jonathan Caouette, author of the cult-movie Tarnation (2003), was chosen to direct the film.
