"ONE. TWO. THREE. FOUR."

Archiving and reviewing every punk performance captured on celluloid, No Focus: Punk on Film is a complete overview of punk film that also covers the birth of music video, post-industrial and euro-trash punk documentaries, classic and obscure movies inspired by punk rock and street/youth subculture (from Jubilee and Repo Man to The Filth And The Fury and Twenty-Four Hour Party People), and proto-punk in the shape of Bunuel and Surrealist films.

No Focus: Punk on Film is packed with new and exclusive interviews with leading film directors, providing both technical and anecdotal insights. As well as many rare punk photos, posters and images throughout.

No Focus: Punk on Film is launched on the 30th anniversary of the release of The Sex Pistols’ Anarchy In The UK in 1976. It includes sections on Sex Pistols, Crass and the Clash, as well as US new wave bands like Talking Heads. It covers the birth of music videos, and the work of directors like Derek Jarman, Alex Cox, Don Letts and Julian Temple
