SeasonHijack QFT Mixtape Vol. 1

Three brothers and a friend. In war-torn Belfast 1977, they formed a band and led the Punk Explosion - rejecting the status quo and the sectarian violence...

And yet their entourage became known as the Locusts – because “anything they couldn’t eat, they destroyed.” As Punk reaches its 40th Anniversary in 2016, some members of The Outcasts are approaching 60. And they’re back on the road, performing all over Europe – even on a boat in Berlin.

Have these guys no lawns to mow? No golf clubs to join? Can they actually play their instruments this time around? Who are ‘The Outcasts’ now? Are they still punks? And what is punk anyhow? This film starts in tumult, and ends up somewhere else entirely.

The screening will be introduced by directors Kate and Paul McCarroll.

Screening as part of HIJACK! QFT MIXTAPE VOL. 1 – a weekend of music-themed films selected by the staff of your friendly neighbourhood cinema. Presented in partnership with The Thin Air.
