The Brian Jonestown Massacre's GOD IS MY GIRLFRIEND – World Premiere!

7th House Screenings at The Philosophical Research Society is proud to present the world theatrical premiere of GOD IS MY GIRLFRIEND: AN EVENING OF (MORE) CONTEMPORARY SITAR MUSIC — an epic, on-camera cosmic jam by modern psych rock legends THE BRIAN JONESTOWN MASSACRE. Filmed in private and attaining a mythic status within BJM’s inner circle, the film has heretofore only been shared amongst bandmates and friends — but tonight, with Brian Jonestown Massacre members in person, they are finally bringing it to the people…large and loud on the big screen!

On a morning in June of 2010, cameras captured The Brian Jonestown Massacre as they performed an improvised cosmic space drone jam unlike anything they’d played before. In the tradition of Spacemen 3 and the live performance captured on their 1987 album, An Evening Of Contemporary Sitar Music, BJM wordlessly and telepathically performed their own interstellar raga — with 4 cameras and a multitrack recorder running.

Experimentally edited, replete with split screens and multiple exposures, the intimate performance film is manna from heaven for BJM fans and lovers of psychedelic space rock (plus fans of films like Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii) alike. Join us as it is unveiled to the public for the very first time, followed by a discussion with band members in person!

Dirs. Nathaniel Hunt and Roger Fernando, 2010, 40 mins, United States, Unrated, Digital.
