The Punk Rock Movie

The film takes up the punk scene in London. The footage was shot in 1977. The person who shot it is Don Letts. Letts was then a disc jockey at a club. The club was called the Roxy. A Super 8 camera comes into his hands. He starts filming the bands playing at the club. The shooting goes on for months. He sells his own belongings to buy film. Most of the footage was made at that club. The Sex Pistols were filmed in another hall. The Clash are in the footage as well. The Slits and Siouxsie and the Banshees are on stage too. The picture is raw from beginning to end. Don Letts made the eighty six minute documentary. The British production was finished in 1978.
