Resfest: loudQUIETloud: A Film About the Pixies (15)

As the feature film culmination of a day which sees screenings of Radiohead, the Visionaries and the ever popular (and LOUD!) Videos That Rock music videos programmes, RESFEST is proud to present – in association with Plexi - the English premiere of this fabulous concert movie.

Extra Screening added on Sat 28 Nov at 1700hrs due to popular demand.

In the history of modern American music there were few bands like the Pixies. Theirs was an unparalleled musical path, influencing countless others despite modest financial success. In 1992, their chief songwriter and vocalist Black Francis announced his intention to quit via a blunt facsimile. That it seemed, was that.

Then to the amazement of everyone, the Pixies reunited in 2004. loudQUIETloud is the story of this unforeseen plot twist - a deeply compelling portrait of four band members and their difficult, tense and ultimately triumphant return. The Pixies, as it turns out, are one of rock music’s great bands.

From the first rehearsal after their reunion to the final bow nearly one year later, the press shy Pixies granted unprecedented access to NY directors Steven Cantor & Matthew Galkin. The result is an insider’s perspective of the Pixies and a fascinating document of the modern touring band. Relationships with each other, relationships with family and relationships with fans are brought sharply into focus alongside striking concert footage. From the loud emotional highs of performing to renewed tensions between band members, the Pixies combustible stage dynamic is laid bare.

Please note: The advertised times are the actual starting times of each programme for all RESFEST screenings.
