'This rough-guide to the New York scene of the 1980's is a whirlwind tour of the city's film and video 'underground' that doubles up as a walk-on-the-wild-side of the modern imagination. Mixing interviews with underground alumni Beth B, Nick Zedd, Henry Rollins, Lydia Lunch and Richard Kern alongside clips of their controversial, confrontational works. No Age... junks standard documentary structure in favour of a scattershot fanzine-type approach that vividly captures the scene of the period and the energy and attitude behind it.' - Steven Bode

THE CRAMPS - LIVE AT NAPA STATE MENTAL HOSPITAL
During a 1978 tour, psychobilly punk band The Cramps played one of their strangest gigs when they performed inside Napa State Mental Hospital - and someone filmed it happening! The footage is grainy, black and white, and chaotic, but as they launch into a high-energy version of Mystery Plane, the film becomes a high point of punk and rock 'n' roll. Unmissable.
After a delay in starting The Third Ear we are now presenting several screenings in the new gallery at Blenheim Walk (next to reception).
Next Screening Tuesday 22 May at 5.00pm
INSTRUMENT - a film by Jem Cohen + THE YEAR PUNK BROKE by Thurston Moore
