SpokAnarchy!

SpokAnarchy is a 2011 documentary film that chronicles the 1980s punk rock scene in Spokane, Washington. Mixing vintage music videos, live clips, and found footage with contemporary interviews, the film portrays what happened when a group of disaffected teenagers from a small, isolated Northwest city embraced the music and fashion of the bigcity punk scenes. The interviewees reminisce about their early years as rebels and misfits in a conservative town, and reflect on how their participation in the scene continues to influence their lives as middleaged adults. Several of the cast have achieved notoriety since the perod depicted in the film, including Paul DAmour, the original bassist for the band Tool, circus sideshow performer Zamora the Torture King, and the creator of Internet meme Keyboard Cat.

SpokAnarchy began as a 20minute short about a reunion of punk rockers and likeminded bohemians in Spokane, Washington during the summer of 2009. Realizing that no film had yet attempted to tell the story of punk outside such major urban centers as New York, Los Angeles, and London, several of the reunions participants decided to expand the project to feature length. They conducted over 60 interviews and assembled 100 hours of both new and old footage, in addition to hundreds of original photographs, flyers, and fanzines from the 1970s and 1980s.The film premiered at the Garland Theater in Spokane on August 6, 2011. In addition to regular theatrical runs in Spokane and Seattle, SpokAnarchy has been shown at The Columbia Gorge International Film Festival in Vancouver, Washington The Landlocked Film Festival in Iowa City, Iowa The AstoriaLIC International Film Festival in Long Island City, New York and the Hot Springs Documentary Film Festival in Hot Springs, Arkansas. SpokAnarchy received a Chris Awards Honorable Mention at the 59th Columbus International Film amp Video Festival. ........
