DIG! ** (2024) Screening w/ Director Ondi Timoner and Narrator Joel Gion

WE ARE CONFIRMING THE TIME. ONCE CONFIRMED, TICKETS WILL BE RELEASED FOR SALE.

Join us for a screening of DIG! ** (2024), the 20th anniversary, extended cut edition of the classic 2004 rock documentary. The film will be introduced by Director Ondi Timoner and narrator Joel Gion of the Brian Jonestown Massacre, with a Q&A session to follow the screening.

DIG! ** tracks the tumultuous rise of two talented musicians, Anton Newcombe, leader of the Brian Jonestown Massacre, and Courtney Taylor, leader of the Dandy Warhols, and dissects their star-crossed friendship and bitter rivalry. Through their loves and obsessions, gigs and recordings, arrests and death threats, uppers and downers, and ultimately to their chance at a piece of the profit-driven music business, they stage a self-proclaimed revolution in the music industry.

As part of our immersive film series, this screening is designed to promote a deeper cultural reflection of cinema. We invite filmmakers to participate in our screenings, enabling the audience to better understand their creative perspective. By encouraging thoughtful, collaborative participation crossing both sides of the screen, this series is dedicated to studying and preserving the art of film.
