How does a working class autodidact, with no visible means of support, maintain his role as the leader of a cult British underground band into its fifth decade? Comedian and writer Stewart Lee, director Michael Cumming and James Nicholls investigate the mysterious existence of Robert Lloyd, Britain’s ultimate post-punk survivor. Robert Lloyd’s Prefects played with The Clash on the White Riot tour in 1977, and their ongoing incarnation, as Birmingham’s Captain Beefheart suffused post-punk poets The Nightingales, recorded more John Peel sessions than any other band. Ever. But what were the social, cultural and economic circumstances that enabled and sustained such outsider artists in the punk and post-punk eras, and how has the world changed to the point where such figures are unlikely to flourish in the same way today? Lloyd’s own odyssey echoes how abstract notions of social mobility, of the value of culture and music, have changed in the last five decades.

'Who the Fuck is That Guy'? The Fabulous Journey of Michael Alago tells the astonishing story of a gay Puerto Rican kid growing up in a Hasidic Brooklyn neighborhood, who got on the subway one day and began a musical odyssey that helped shape the musical landscape across N.Y.C. and around the world. Directed by Drew Stone and produced by Michael Alex the film tells the incredible story of a cherished New York City icon. From rubbing elbows with N. Y. scene makers as an teenager at Max's Kansas City and CBGB, to being the architect of a rock 'n' roll renaissance as the 19 year-old talent booker at the legendary Ritz, to making history as a 24 year-old A&R exec, signing the biggest metal band in a generation in Metallica, Michael Alago was on fire.

El rock'n'roll potente y agresivo de The Stooges, que apareció en Ann Arbor, Michigan, durante una revolución contra-cultural, fue como una bomba en el paisaje musical de finales de los años sesenta. Con su mezcla de rock, blues, R&B y free jazz, el grupo en el que debutó Iggy Pop plantó los cimientos de lo que se conocería posteriormente como rock alternativo. Este documental narra la epopeya de The Stooges, uno de los grupos de rock más importantes de todos los tiempos. "Gimme Danger" presenta el contexto en el que The Stooges evolucionaron musicalmente, culturalmente, políticamente, históricamente, a través de sus aventuras y sus desgracias, evocando sus fuentes de inspiración y las razones de sus primeros desafíos comerciales, hasta su llegada al Panteón del rock.
