  • TAKEN BY STORM : The Art of Storm Thorgerson and Hipgnosis

    Taken By StormPresented by Noise Pop
    This man has designed 80% of your classic vinyl record collection !
    For over 40 years using album covers as his canvas, Storm has created many of the most iconic images in music from Pink Floyd’s DARK SIDE OF THE MOON, Zeppelin’s HOUSES OF THE HOLY to Peter Gabriel,10cc, Black Sabbath, Paul McCartney and later for Cranberries, Mars Volta, Anthrax, Audioslave, Muse, Biffy Clyro and Steve Miller. Eschewing digital manipulation in favor of building massive sets, staging performances and “doing it for real” Storm has deliriously and relentlessly confounded expectations of the role of the album cover at the intersection of art and commerce. Directed by Roddy Bogawa

  • Punk in Africa

    Punk In Africa

    Noise Pop presents:

    Q&A WITH PRODUCER JEFE BROWN

    PUNK IN AFRICA traces this until-now untold story from its roots in the underground rock music of early 1970s Johannesburg, the first multi-racial punk bands formed in the wake of the Soweto Uprising and the militant anti-apartheid hardcore and post-punk bands of the 1980s to the rise of celebratory African-inspired ska bands which sprang up from Cape Town to Maputo in the democratic era of the 1990s. Today, an emerging generation of bands continue to draw on this legacy to confront the political challenges of contemporary Zimbabwe and the uncertain identity issues of the Afrikaans minority in South Africa as the scene also begins to spread across the rest of the African continent. Directed by Keith Jones and Deon Maas, TRT 82 min.
