I admit I haven't done a thorough site search, but having clicked through the forums over the last few months, and having stumbled upon no specific queries about it, I have to ask:
Is loudQUIETloud actually going to come out on DVD? Not all of us can get to the few arthouse cinemas in the US of A that appear to be the only outlets available so far.

Was just forwarded this press release:
loudQUIETloud: A FILM ABOUT THE PIXIESDIRECTED BY STEVEN CANTOR & MATTHEW GALKINFeaturing: Charles Thompson (guitar/vocals), Kim Deal (bass/vocals), Joey Santiago (guitar) and David Lovering (drums)Original Score: Daniel Lanois UK DVD release: 6th November 06 After its celebrated European premiere at the Edinburgh Film Festival on 22nd & 25th August, the UK DVD release is 6th November. In the history of modern American music there were few bands like the Pixies. Theirs was an unparalleled musical path, influencing countless others despite modest financial success. In 1992, their chief songwriter and vocalist Black Francis announced his intention to quit via a blunt facsimile. That it seemed, was that. Then to the amazement of everyone, the Pixies reunited in 2004. loudQUIETloud is the story of this unforeseen plot twist - a deeply compelling portrait of four band members and their difficult, tense and ultimately triumphant return. The Pixies, as it turns out, are one of rock music’s great bands.
Lead me not into temptation; I can find the way myself. |

Wow, thanks a lot for the heads up, Homers! I was hoping it'd get a showing over here. I'll definitely be going to this. The IFI is a nice little place in Temple Bar with a book/DVD store bar, and coffee shop.
Just checked it out on the IFI site, don't know if the dates in the NME story are wrong or they're additional screenings (they probably are), but apparently it's being shown as part of the Stranger Than Fiction season at 10:00 PM on Friday the 29th of September:

LOUDQUIETLOUD: THE PIXIES
The Pixies’ influence on modern rock music is legendary: Kurt Cobain
gave voice to the feelings of many musicians, when he admitted to
‘ripping off’ their sound for Nirvana. Their 2004 reformation did
nothing to diminish their standing. Playing together for the first time
since their conspicuously acrimonious break-up, 11 years earlier, their
US tour drew heated critical praise, and sold out arenas across the
country. Filmmakers Cantor & Galkin tagged along for the ride, and
found the four members older, heavier, and still attempting to come
to terms with their legacy - and each other in this intimate,
affectionate profile. But these backstage intrigues are blown away by
the white-hot intensity of their performances: featuring all their hits,
this is a concert movie par excellence, a fitting testament to one of
the greatest bands of all time.
2006, 85 mins USA
Director: S. Cantor & M. Galkin
Screening Times
10.00 Friday 29 September

Pixies documentary hits the UK
Controversial film part of festival
Pixies controversial documentary 'loudQUIETloud: A Film About the Pixies' is to get another airing in the UK.
The film, which got its' UK premiere at the Edinburgh Film Festival last month, is one of the main attractions of Resfest, the touring cinematic festival.
The Pixies film will be shown as part of the festival's Bristol residency at the Watershed between October 25-29.
As previously reported by NME.COM, the controversial film was criticised by Pixies leader Frank Black. He referred to the finished version as "exaggerated" and the filmmakers "naïve".
Also showing at the festival is a retrospective of Radiohead videos, 'Radiohead, the Visionaries: A Decade of Breaking New Talent' and 'Rock The Bells', a documentary about the Wu Tang Clan.
Resfest will call at:
Bristol Watershed and Arnolfini (October 25-29)
London National Film Theatre (November 14-19)
Dublin Irish Film Institute (December 7-10)
For full details go to Resfest.co.uk.

Well theres a couple along there so it could be. The Rock's on the same road, up from the Community centre, The Shand (used to be called The Jimmy Shand) is next to the roundabout at the top of Ninewells Avenue.

I'm in Eden Street, off the Arbroath Road. Is the Shand the one overlooking Ninewells? Only been there once, on a work's night out (a long time ago)...

Oooo, where abouts? I moved up to the new Wimpy houses in Ardler near enough exactly a year ago, next to the pond, near the Downfield golf club, but I lived in Menzieshill before that, next to the Shand.

I'd guess that there is a chance it'd be on at the Galway Film Fleadh/Festival (whatever it's called)
If i was to give a guess on the dvd release, i'd say(hope) late summer.
Try keeping an eye out on: http://www.loudquietloud.com/ for the latest screenings.

Yeah, I'm English so I think I go back at the beginning of September.
I'll probably not go anyway because of the cost etc. Plus, trains are too unreliable.

Duno bout you, but we go back on the 14th. If your English I'm pretty sure you go back later, but we come off first anyhoo. I'm from Dundee, so it'll only be like an hour on the Megabus (£1!!)

Will it not be summer holidays anyway?
I might try to make it up to Edinburgh myself but it seems unlikely, with my laziness and all...

The dates of the festival are 14th - 27th August. The times or that haven't been announced yet. A day trip to Edinburgh will be fun, it'll probably mean a day off school as well:) It says on the loudQUIETloud website all the festivals it's being shown at, this seems to be the only British one thus far.

Not for a littel while, anyway, I woudn't think-remember, it's only been premiering at film festivals up until recently. So, maybe it'll get a limited release in a variety of countires first-that's my guess, anyway!!
