Pulp: The Beat is the Law – A film about the band Pulp's rise to mid-90's Britpop glory out of Margaret Thatcher's turbulent 80's

The Beat is The Law on Fox News in America!

Thursday, October 13th, 2011

Here’s a clip of Fox 9 News in Minneapolis covering the Sound Unseen Music and Film Festival. Half way through the reporter discusses The Beat Is The Law with the festival organiser.
Its interesting because despite the film being about Pulp, she really likes the socio-political aspect of the film and ends with a shot of a guy collecting money for the miners to keep them off the dole. Its a bit surreal to see Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News showing derelict steel factories, police and protesters protesting about the oppressive regime of The Iron Lady herself, Margaret Thatcher, being beamed to homes across what is a large population in Minneapolis at breakfast time!
The film is screening tonight at 9pm, Trylon Cinema, Sound Unseen

Minneapolis Screening 13th October 2011

Tuesday, October 4th, 2011

We are pleased to announce The Beat is The Law – Fanfare For The Common People will be screening in Minneapolis on the 13th October 2011 as part of the Sound Unseen Film/Music/Art Festival

The film has so far played to packed cinemas in Los Angeles and San Francisco.
“The screening went GREAT!  People LOVED the movie, attendance was strong, there was a fun Brit Pop tie-in at a nearby bar, all that! One of our employees is a filmmaker who has been at a dead end with her project, and she found the attitude of the Sheffield scene to be super-inspiring.  I think that is so awesome” Mike Keegan – Roxie Theatre, San Francisco

If our films inspire others then we have done our job.
