Divine Schism presents: The Elephant 6 Recording Co.15

Directed by Chad Stockfleth | USA | 2022 | 1h 33m

1985, a group of Louisiana high schoolers began experimenting with whatever random instruments and gear they could lay their hands on. Influenced by past sounds and psychedelia, and with little to distract them, their efforts to create whole new musical worlds became the bands the Olivia Tremor Control, Neutral Milk Hotel, the Apples In Stereo and many more. This documentary takes a look at this revolutionary era of independent music in America, the defiant DIY spirit in music making, and champions the integrity of the quest for artistic expressiveness over the mainstream image of being a “successful” musician.

Divine Schism presents this one-off screening with live music.

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road.We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
