Blank City (2009)

Together with Cities of Dust and Milk Made, we will watch Blank City. In the late 1970s, a group of ambitious New York filmmakers, inspired by the emerging underground music scene, began making films. Thus was born the influential No Wave movement. This film delves into the events leading up to No Wave, using the decaying city as inspiration. With interviews with Jim Jarmusch, John Waters, Thurston Moore, Debbie Harry and Lydia Lunch, among others.
