Punk the Capital had a full house projection last week at the film fest Rock this Town in France. It was our last festival and the end of an amazing run so it was a little bittersweet.
There was a killer lineup of guests including Lisa Rovner of @SistwTransistors and the one and only @RebelDread (pictured alongside fest director Xavier Le Falher).

A couple of glimpses of the video loop from the permanent DC punk exhibit at the newly renovated Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library. We were fortunate enough to work with @dcpunkarchive on assembling a soundtrack and video loop for this important exhibition of DC culture.
