Bloodied But Unbowed , a documentary on Vancouver punk will be showing a Director’s Cut premiere at the DOXA Documentary Film Festival during a gala on Thursday, May 13, in Vancouver.

Bloodied But Unbowed chronicles the late 1970s/early 1980s Vancouver punk rock scene. Vancouver filmmaker Susanne Tabata’s documentary tells a tale of rebellion and music — a fiercely independent scene created from nothing and played out in a microcosm of urban squalor. Told by its surviving stars whose accounts are suffused with both humour and gritty realism — a distinctly Vancouver vibe. A brutally honest story from the streets and stages of the West Coast through interviews, music, photos, and archival performances. Overarching those halcyon days of poverty and excess is the MUSIC — that moved its audience to their feet and seemed to validate their very existence.
Stay tuned for upcoming screenings or broadcast news.

Hellfest is the place to be this year – with only 20,000 people a day attending the grounds are intimate and the bands intense. This year sees classic headliners Alice Cooper, KISS, Motorhead and Twisted Sister right alongside some truly groundbreaking, genre-defining, underground bands: Immortal, GODFLESH, Sigh, Carcass and Atheist. There is something for everyone… a focus in this year’s band selection is desert rock with Weedeater, Mondo Generator, Brant Bjork and the Bros and even a reformed, edited lineup version of Kyuss! Small town France is a hospitable place to take in such a show, amidst the wine fields and misty clouds. And for the thrashers of the bunch we’ve got Overkill, Annihilator, Exodus, Sepultura and the masters of it all… Slayer. Get your ass on the plane, red wine in hand, and see more bands in week than you’ll see in your hometown in years.
