Apparently there is a screening at the "Play It Loud: Rockdocs 2006," a nine-day, nine-film series of New York, American, and North American premieres beginning today at Lincoln Center.

NOISE
Series: Play It Loud: RockDocs [Aug 2 – 10 2006]
Director: Olivier Assayas, Country: France, Release: 2005, Runtime: 114

U.S. Premiere
In 2005, Olivier Assayas was given carte blanche by the Festival Art Rock in Saint Brieuc, and invited a few friends (including Eric Gautier, Laurent Perrin and Michael Almereyda) to document the event. The result is a full-immersion experience, dropping us down into a world of purely visual and aural textures where musical instruments become transformative devices and where sound and vision are continually re-energizing and transfiguring one another. The motley assemblage of performers includes southern Algerian Oud virtuoso Alla; Vincent Epplay and Joanna Preiss of White Tahina; the Canadian punk band Metric and their unstoppably energetic and winning lead singer Emily Haines (featured in the opening scenes of Assayas’ Clean); director/playwright Pascale Rambert and actress Kate Moran; Malian master (and Ali Farka Touré protegé) Afel Bocoum; Steve Shelley, Lee Ranaldo, Alan Licht and Tim Barnes, better known as Text of Light, giving a mesmerizing performance; actress and sometime diva Jeanne Balibar accompanied by guitarist Rodolphe Burger; noise virtuoso Jim O’Rourke; and, in the film’s ghostly, transcendent peak, Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore, moving out of Sonic Youth mode and into their Mirror/Dash incarnation.
