We Are Fugazi From Washington, D.C. (2024)

Doc'n Roll Film Festival is coming to Amsterdam, with an electrifying lineup of Dutch film premieres celebrating the legendary stories behind the music.

Created to commemorate the 20 years that have passed since DC-based post-hardcore band Fugazi’s last live appearance (4th November 2002, at London's Forum), We Are Fugazi from Washington, D.C. is a 96-minute movie comprising crowd-sourced, fan-recorded live shows and rare archive footage of Fugazi curated by Joe Gross, Joseph Pattisall and Jeff Krulik. 

Explicitly billed as a non-documentary, the film pays tribute to Fugazi’s prowess as a live act - for old fans to remember and for a new generation to discover what they missed. This unique archival assemblage celebrates the fans and their cameras, as much as the band itself - a collision/collusion of the ephemeral moment on stage, and the moments captured on camera.

The profits from this screening will be donated to De Regenboog Groep.

Melkweg often hosts different types of programmes at the same time, such as concerts, club nights and films. Please note that there may occasionally be some noise pollution from other programmes during the screening.
