Event Details
In the late 1970s, a couple of insurance salesmen from the San Fernando Valley asked Penelope Spheeris if she was interested in directing a porn film. “No, absolutely not,” she told them, “but how about a punk rock movie?”
Released in 1981, “The Decline of Western Civilization” (1981, 100 min) features the bands Black Flag, X, Germs and many others. It remains one of the most influential documentaries ever made about punk rock. The film captured the raw energy, attitude, and DIY spirit of the Los Angeles punk scene at the turn of the decade. It is so entertaining and so in depth that it is hard to fault.
