Fugazi: Instrument (1998)

This collaboration between filmmaker Jem Cohen and the Washington D.C. band Fugazi covers the 10 year period of 1987-1996. Far from a traditional documentary, this is a musical document; a portrait of musicians at work. The project mixes sync-sound, 16mm. Super-8 video and a wide range of archival formats, including concert footage, studio session practice, touring, interviews and portraits of audience members from around the country, plus soundtrack music provided by Fugazi specifically for the film.
