Permanent vacation
Jim Jarmusch / US, 1980
Jarmusch’s low budget graduation film follows an ultra-cool jazz dude on his seemingly desultory way through a post-apocalyptic New York. The Film Academy thought it was ‘a waste of time’ – a spot-on summary of the film’s theme.

FURY! Punk Culture
The year is 1976, the second industrial era is screeching to a conclusion and the oil crisis is at an all-time low when an undeniable counter-voice is heard in the dilapidated inner cities of London, Amsterdam and New York. A call for rebellion against the capitalist thinking that fills the pockets of the wealthy minority. It's a provocative cry from teens and young adults who no longer want to do what parents, teachers and politicians expect of them.
