Event Details

Come to Invisible Records for an Intimate Screening of 16 Days in China

In 2006 Martin Atkins, drummer of Pigface, P.i.L., Killing Joke and more, took a trip to China. This award winning and unforgettable documentary is a beautiful document of the trip. It follows Atkins as he signs bands, records music, visits clubs and experiences the kind of hardships that only come with international travel.

The director (Atkins) will be on hand to answer questions after the screening.

Come for the movie, stay for the free Red Bull, Chinese beer, and popcorn! Egg rolls too!

EGG ROLL!!

 

mmmmm... Yummy Time.

"Atkins has done a masterful job with this self-written/directed/produced doc, including both his own ideological wrestling with Chinese political repression with his own emotional terrorism of his personal assistant who set up a three night, several band festival for Atkins at D-22, booked rare studio time for the really creative regional bands against all the odds, and tried to keep the compilation album production for the project within a stretched budget. It’s a warts and all approach, a melee of fresh Chinese punk, post-punk, funk, art-rock voices mixed with Caucasian fear and confusion — feeling not unlike one of your favorite exotic-sounding music genre-transcending albums made in perilous times. Atkins is smartly hilarious throughout, his own DIY spirit inspiring everyone around him to perform and create on their own terms."
