Theory Of Obscurity (2016)

The first official documentary sanctioned by The Residents tells the story of the iconic renegade cult band. From the group's formation in Shreveport to their success in the burgeoning San Francisco avant-garde music scene of the 60s and 70s, The Residents redefined what a rock band could be. With the advent of music videos in the 1980s, these masked musicians gained global fame as MTV darlings and serious art world figures. The film was a critically acclaimed festival favorite that premiered at 2015 SXSW and has been invited to prestigious other festivals. It features interviews with many famous musicians, actors, and filmmakers who were inspired by The Residents, including: Jerry Harrison (The Talking Heads), Matt Groening (creator of The Simpsons), Gerald Casale (Devo), Josh Freese (Guns N' Roses, Weezer) and others. Bonus features: Footage of The Residents first EVER performance at The Boarding House in San Francisco; footage and outtakes from their uncompleted film Vileness Fat; lots more. (bron: RSK)
