KILL
YOUR IDOLS
Documentary
Film - New York 30 Years of Alternative Music
No Wave to Present
June 24, 2011 to July 30, 2011
Kill Your Idols - A must see 75 min. Documentary art film on alternative music in NYC originating in the 70’s. Scott Crary is a film director and writer based in New York City. Crary filmed, produced, edited, and directed the film Kill Your Idols, a documentary examining three decades of New York art punk bands. Kill Your Idols features such noted no wave and art punk bands as sonic Youth, Swans, DNA, Teenage Jesus and the Jerks, Suicide, Black Dice, Gogol Bordello, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Liars, among others. The film received the award for Best Documentary at the 2004 Tribeca Film Festival and was subsequently screened at over 50 international film festivals. This is about anti-music, atonal and extreme, but very much in step with the punk ethos of breaking down the barrier between artist and audience.
