We’re living in the era of the music documentary. From the big screen to streaming to social media, films about our favourite artists are everywhere. But where to start? Well, Myf and Zan have done God’s work and watched a bunch of them.
Inspired by the great lineup of music docos on the Melbourne International Film Festival program, this week Myf and Zan are talking about some of their faves.
There’s new films about electro punk pioneer Peaches and cult Irish hip-hop act Kneecap; films that chart the rise and fall of icons like ABBA and Whitney Houston; and there’s those goosebump-inducing moments on film that capture transcendent performers at their peak.
