Backbeat: Melbourne Film Festival 2008 music program

The 2008 Melbourne Film Festival has a music documentaries program called Backbeat, there are some very interesting features like Respect Yourself: The Stax Records Story and The Night James Brown Saved Boston. Most of them are foreign documentaries, why is this I’m not sure. I guess we hear about local acts enough to not want watch a whole documentary of it. But there is a screening of local music videos called Orbit that looks interesting. I’ll unashamedly admit that it’s also a good source of content for this blog, so for the next couple of weeks we’ll feature some of the music videos here, including some artists we weren’t aware before, like the intriguing sounding All India Radio.
