Cushla Dillon
Co-directors Cushla Dillon and Andrew Moore present this unflinching yet affectionate portrait of notorious New Zealand rock band 'King Loser'. Led by the combustible pairing of Chris Heazlewood and the late Celia Mancini, the band enjoyed cult success in the 1990s and released three albums on the Flying Nun label. Co-director Andrew Moore's ever-present camera captures a time-ravaged, reformed band on a national comeback tour of 2016, where glimmers of their former magic emerge in the face of major dysfunction. It may be sometimes hard to watch but is also refreshingly honest and frequently poignant - a film that tells it like it really was for King Loser, and how it sometimes can be for anyone in the world of rock'n'roll.
