 Penelope
Spheeris’ (Wayne’s World) unflinching documentary of
the infamous L.A. Punk scene circa 1980 features performances
from X, Germs, Fear, and the pre-Henry Rollins incarnation of
Black Flag. Raw, candid interviews with punk legends such as
Darby Crash, John Doe, and Pat Smear - who, a decade later became
a member of Nirvana - reveal a generation of angry, young misfits
brimming with self-destructive energy.

Man
dir.
Alex Cox, USA, 35mm, 1984, 92 mins, color
 A
twisted blend of sci-fi lunacy and punk rock attitude, Repo
Man follows the exploits of Otto (Emilio Estevez), a nihilistic,
suburban punk who reluctantly becomes re-possessor of automobiles.
On the job, Otto is exposed to a surreal world of late night
car chases, mysterious aliens, and the social misfits who inhabit
the underside of Los Angeles.
