Underground Presents: Shellshock Rock
Friday 27 June
John T.Davis//Ireland//1979//46 mins
Filmbase, 4.00 pm (NB: Please note earlier time slot)
Shellshock Rock is John T Davis' lyrical snapshot of Northern Ireland’s burgeoning punk scene in the late 1970s. It features performances - captured live and raw - from local bands The Undertones, Protex, Stiff Little Fingers, Rudi, Outcasts, Victim and The Idiots. Set to debut at the Cork Film Festival in 1979, but mysteriously rejected at the eleventh hour, Shellshock Rock later went on to win a Silver Award at the New York Film and Television festival that same year. The geniality behind the camera captures the innocence in front, making for a disarming glimpse at the North’s punk culture, and introducing the world to a filmmaker unafraid to challenge the conventions of the genre.
