Punk the Capital + Q&A

Followed by a Q&A with musician Alec MacKaye and director James June Schneider. When punk rock exploded in Washington DC, it was a mighty convergence of powerful music, friendships, and clear minds. It was an unlikely place but the perfect time. Punk the Capital explores this inspiring story of how a punk subculture took root in the US Capital (1976 to 1983). Situating D.C. punk within the larger narratives of punk and rock n' roll, this film reveals why the sounds and ideas from this radical music scene continue to influence and inspire around the world. It dives into a movement that not only redefined a genre but that created a widely employed model for DIY culture and political engagement. This event corresponds with the Hard Art DC 1979 photo and book exhibition at Summerhall in Edinburgh, opening on 26 July.
