SONIC YOUTH: SLEEPING NIGHTS AWAKE

Michael Albright
USA 2006
84 min
V'08

When filmmaker Michael Albright returned to his hometown of Reno, Nevada, following a stint working under legendary documentarian Albert Maysles in New York City, he found himself casting about for something creative to do. Albright - along with seven untested kids from the Reno-area high school - has crafted one of the most intimate and aesthetically pure rock 'n' roll documentaries to come out in years: Sonic Youth: Sleeping Nights Awake. Filmed over the course of exactly one day during the NYC No Wave legends' gig in Reno on July 4, 2006, Sleeping Nights Awake is the first film from «Project Moonshine», a nonprofit organization Albright founded «to teach filmmaking skills to teenagers by providing opportunities to document important events happening in their community».
