Canadian Heavy Metal Documentary To Be Shown At VANCOUVER INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL
October 3, 2005"Metal: A Headbanger's Journey", a brand-new documentary offering a guided tour through heavy metal's storied but largely ignored history, will be shown at the 24th annual Vancouver International Festival, which is running now through October 14. The film will air on October 7 at 9:45 p.m and again on October 11 at 1 p.m. More information can be found at this location.
"Metal: A Headbanger's Journey" is the brainchild of Sam Dunn, an anthropologist and unreformed headbanger from Victoria, BC, who was originally interested in a book project.
"There were books like Robert Walser's 'Running With the Devil' and Deena Weinstein's 'Heavy Metal' but no one had done a comprehensive history," Dunn told Eye.net in a recent interview. "The reason I was particularly interested at that time was because of the nĂ¼-metal thing. I wasn't necessarily a fan of that music, though I thought SLIPKNOT was intriguing because it sounded like eight death metal bands having a wrestling match. But it did get me thinking about it within the scope of the history of the music. This music is changing and evolving and always has been."
