WE JAM ECONO - THE STORY OF THE MINUTEMEN is a feature length
documentary
chronicling this ground-breaking, early 80's punk rock band from their
humble beginnings in the harbor town of San Pedro, CA to their untimely
demise when lead singer and guitarist D. Boon was killed in a van
accident in December of 1985.
Told by those who were there (Henry Rollins/Black Flag; J
Mascis/Dinosaur Jr.; Richard Hell/Voidoids; Thurston Moore/Sonic Youth and many
others), WE JAM ECONO - THE STORY OF THE MINUTEMEN weaves together footage
from over fifty newly shot interviews with archival interviews and live
performances to capture the dynamic energy and do-it-yourself spirit of
these punk rock
pioneers.
The screening will open with "Tripa Love", a short film by San Antonio
Filmmaker Ian Tyler Ibarra.
The evening's presentation will also include a musical performance by
Piñata Protest. Piñata Protest is the Westside of SA's latest export,
combining accordion sounds with blistering punk rock and folk melodias.
This young power trio is forging new grounds, musically and culturally
with their hybrid musical style.
DJ Dirty Styles will DJ, spinning the SA classics.
There will also be a sale of original monoprints created through San
Anto Cultural Arts' weekly monoprint workshops.
The "San Antonio Film Series" is a year-long program of screenings and
workshops that will foster independent film in San Antonio. Through
celebrating and including filmmakers and audiences of all backgrounds,
NALIP will promote the authentic, pan-ethnic diversity that is the real
jewel of independent filmmaking. This programming is made possible by The
San Antonio Film Commission, The City of San Antonio Office of Cultural
Affairs and NALAC.
