If there’s one documentary which even the most casual reader of TVD should concern themselves with at this year’s Silverdocs Festival, it’s the official film of Record Store Day, Sound it Out, a portrait the very last surviving vinyl record shop in Teesside, North East England.
“A cultural haven in one of the most deprived areas in the UK, Sound it Out documents a place that is thriving against the odds and the local community that keeps it alive. Directed by Jeanie Finlay who grew up three miles from the shop. A distinctive, funny and intimate film about men, the North and the irreplaceable role music plays in our lives. High Fidelity with a Northern Accent.”
“Hilarious and incredibly heartwarming” —NME
“Sound it Out isn’t just good – it’s important.” —IFC
“One of the most vital and innervating films of SXSW.” —Cinematical
“The unexpected pure pleasure of this year’s indie documentaries at SXSW.” —James Rocchi MSN Movies
“A winning combination of High Fidelity and American Splendor.” —The Guardian
Sound it Out, Sunday, June 26, 8:45 PM | AFI Silver Theater 1
