What is punk' Don Letts - filmmaker, London punk scene veteran, infamous DJ at The Roxy and member of Big Audio Dynamite - has created a documentary capturing the essence of punk rock. The film includes interviews with more or less everyone who's still alive who had an impact on the movement that shook the world, including Lou Reed, Tommy Ramone, Mick Jones, Paul Simonon, Siouxsie, Jello Biafra, Thurston Moore, Henry Rollins, Dick Manitoba, Glenn Branca, Arthur Kane, James Chance and many others. Interspersed with priceless footage of the likes of the MC5, the Sex Pistols, the Clash, the Buzzcocks, the Stooges, Fugazi, the Bad Brains and the Screamers, Letts lets the talent talk, and they paint an intriguing picture of the shared vision and anger at the status quo, both musically and socially, that was the punk movement.

Don Letts will be attending the festival.
