BEAUTIFUL FRENZY - 52 minutes, 2001
Film by Christina Hallström and Mandra Wabäck
"The film, the first release of CUT Productions, was made by Christina
Hallström and Mandra U. Wabäck, two independent Swedish filmmakers
living in Amsterdam, who filmed the band on location over a period of two
years: on tour in Europe and the US, along squats, clubs and festivals,
during rehearsals, and at the band-members' homes. Crossed with various
archive material and poetic sequences, the film gives a vivid impression
of the band making music without giving in to established conventions.
Made with modest means (i.e. digital video cameras, a lot of sweat, a couple
of tears), with the help of dear friends, and with no support whatsoever
from any official sources within the Dutch film industry, the result is
an unorthodox document on independent music-made by two independent filmmakers
going their own way, in the same spirit as the band."
