| The 1980 performance of Hamilton's Teenage Head at Heatwave will be in TVO's Picture My Face doc November 3 at 9 pm. |
Here's the scoop from Teenage Head...
"We always knew there was a film crew shooting the Heatwave Festival, but what happened to the footage? Apparently the majority of the bands declined to be filmed, or never agreed to participate in a movie about the festival, so the film they did have sat in a warehouse collecting dust. Our good friend Mr. Zero from the Kings had acquired all those film canisters several years ago, as Teenage Head and The Kings were the only bands left on film. That film ended up in the hands of FELTFILM director Douglas Arrowsmith, who has just wrapped up production on our upcoming feature documentary appropriatley titled "Picture My Face". Along with Doug McClement's pristine audio capture, the results are stunning. In fact that's how the documentary starts, which will air later this fall on TVO's Original Series with tons of never before seen footage. It only took 40 years, but from what we've seen it was worth the wait."
