Punk Rock Docs – Crime 1978 & Outsider Artists (Oakland)

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Oakland-based punk band NIXED is teaming up with the innovative Shapeshifters Cinema and a collective of Bay Area filmmakers to launch a new, monthly Punk Rock Documentary Film Series. The series will feature double-feature screenings dedicated to the loud, fast, and fiercely independent spirit of punk rock, exploring the origins, history, and enduring legacy of DIY/punk music and culture in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond.

Inaugural Screenings: San Francisco Pioneers & Dublin Firebrands
