October 12, 2016 (Detroit)—The Detroit Institute of Arts’ (DIA) Detroit Film Theatre (DFT) presents an advance screening of renowned director Jim Jarmusch’s new documentary “Gimme Danger,” an Amazon Studios/Magnolia Pictures release, on Tuesday, Oct. 25 at 7 p.m. featuring a discussion with Michigan’s own music legend Iggy Pop and Jarmusch, moderated by Ann Delisi, host of WDET’s Essential Music program. Tickets are $15 and are available in advance at www.dia.org, in person at the DIA’s box office or by phone at 313-833-4005. Advance tickets are strongly recommended.
The special program is in advance of the run of “Gimme Danger” at the DFT, showing Oct. 28–30 and Nov. 4–6. Tickets for these showings beginning Oct. 28 are also available in advance.
Emerging from Ann Arbor amidst a countercultural revolution, The Stooges’ powerful and aggressive style of rock-n-roll blew a crater in the musical landscape of the late 1960s. Assaulting audiences with a blend of rock, blues, R&B and free jazz, the band planted the seeds for what would be called punk and alternative rock in the decades that followed.
“Gimme Danger” chronicles the story of The Stooges, one of the greatest rock-n-roll bands of all time, presenting the context of their emergence musically, culturally, politically and historically. The movie relates the band’s adventures and misadventures while charting their inspirations and the reasons behind their initial commercial challenges, as well as The Stooges’ long-lasting legacy.
“Gimme Danger” was a favorite at both the Cannes and Toronto Film Festivals. The movie has been fashioned with affection, insight and energy by Jarmusch (“Stranger Than Paradise,” “Only Lovers Left Alive”), whose personal friendship with Iggy Pop (Jim Osterberg) is reflected in his earlier films “Coffee and Cigarettes” and “Dead Man.” Combining concert footage with animation and engrossing reminiscences, Jarmusch uncovers priceless anecdotes about the band’s stylistic evolution, right down to the way that Iggy’s fascination with Egyptian pharaoh movies influenced his stage presence.
