Inspired by Steven Blush’s 2001 nonfiction book of the same name, this doc tells the story of this important punk scene, featuring bands such as Black Flag, Minor Threat and Bad Brains. They made for an anarchistic response to the homelessness, materialism and conservatism of the Reagan years. (dir. Paul Rachman, U.S., 2006, 100 min.)

This critically adored band from Memphis could have been the Beatles of the ‘70s. The uneasy marriage of the talents of Chris Bell and the Box Tops singer Alex Chilton, one troubled and the other prickly, made for a melodic, harmony-rich pop music that could verge on transcendence. But as this insightful doc shows, they were commercially doomed. (dir. Drew Nicola, Olivia Mori, U.S., 2012, 113 min.)

Few jazz pianists had Bill Evans’s touch: his distinct sound was both resonant and delicate. Influenced equally by Bach and Bud Powell, Evans created an elegant, fluid, frequently introspective style that was unusual during the post- and hard-bop eras; he strongly influenced the development of modal jazz, particularly Miles Davis’s Kind of Blue (to which he contributed as a player and writer). As smooth as Evans’s music could be, his personal life was turbulent. (dir. Bruce Spiegel, U.S., 2015, 90 min.)

Bob Gruen is a photographer well known for his gorgeous photographs, working with John Lennon, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, and Elton John but this rough gem made with a crude camcorder might be his crowning achievement, peeling back the curtain on an inspired musical couple before their demise.

From visionary director Benedict Andrews, this acclaimed production was filmed live during a sold-out run at the Young Vic Theatre in 2014.

“It’s a reminder that the fourth (and fifth and sixth) wall can be smashed, and that the rock doc can be reinvented.” (Indiewire) What if the indie-rock band Pavement was the most important band of all time? Alex Ross Perry, with the help of ace editor Robert Greene, chases this question in four ways: staging an off-Broadway jukebox musical, a fake “Bohemian Rhapsody”-style biopic, a museum exhibition that brims with mostly unimportant memorabilia, and an actual documentary. An irreverent gesture undercuts every sincere moment, not unlike the band.(dir. Alex Ross Perry, U.S., 2024, 128 min.),

In 2003, eight Rhode Islanders created a secret apartment inside the busy Providence Place Mall and kept it going for four years, filming everything along the way. Far more than just a wild prank, the secret mall apartment became a life-changing experience for all the participants. It also was an act of defiance against local gentrification and a boundary-pushing work of public/private art. (dir. Jeremy Workman, U.S., 2024, 91 min.)
