OTHER, LIKE ME: The Oral History Of Coum Transmissions & Throbbing Gristle (18)
- Advance Tickets – £7
Dir.s Marcus Werner Hed, Dan Fox – UK/USA 1hr 25mins (Longer duration theatrical release)
The British industrial town Hull could hardly have a more appropriate name. It is a fitting place for a nihilistic avant-garde collective, which at the end of the 1970s aggressively confronted every conceivable taboo: sex, pornography, violence and self-mutilation. But COUM Transmissions was only the beginning. Led by the artists Genesis P-Orridge and Cosey Fanni Tutti, COUM became the visionary and utterly unruly industrial/noise band Throbbing Gristle, which was named ‘the wreckers of civilisation’ by a shocked conservative politician. The many rare archive clips speak for themselves.
