The Film
Sonic Youth: NYC and Beyond
Curated by members of Sonic Youth & archivist Aaron Mullan | US | 90
As a fixture of the New York music scene for 30 years, Sonic Youth performed in New York City innumerable times, and served as ersatz cultural ambassadors for the city when traveling. As part of the 2019 Rooftop Films programming, Sonic Youth will present a New York-specific collection of film and videos from their private archives. Much of the material to be presented is completely unseen, threaded together with a few items which are out there in the public knowledge but here presented from the best source available to the band. A panel discussion featuring SY drummer Steve Shelley, archivist Aaron Mullan, and more will follow.
