FOO FIGHTERS ON BIG SCREEN

For one night only: ‘Foo Fighters Back & Forth’ hits the cinema screen at Showcase Peterborough.

On Thursday April 7 at 8pm, Showcase Peterborough will continue to push the boundaries of what digital cinema can deliver and present “’oo Fighters: Back & Forth’, the definitive documentary of the last great American rock band as it hits the cinema screen for one night only.

The riveting film about the multi-platinum band will be followed by a streamed set from the Foo Fighters playing their upcoming album Wasting Light from front to back recorded in Los Angeles the previous night.

Produced by Nigel Sinclair (No Direction Home: Bob Dylan, Amazing Journey the Story of the Who, The Last Play at Shea) of Exclusive Media’s Spitfire Pictures, the documentary chronicles the 16 year history of the Foo Fighters: from the band’s very first songs created as cassette demos Dave Grohl recorded during his tenure as Nirvana’s drummer, through its ascent to their Grammy-winning, multi-platinum, arena and stadium headlining status as one of the biggest rock bands on the planet.

Oscar® and Emmy® winner James Moll produced and directed the documentary film which culminates with the making of the new album: a process in which the band pushed itself forward by going fully back to basics and recording in Grohl’s garage completely on analog tape. No computers, no software – just a band recording an album to tape in a garage. The new record also marks the Foos’ first full-length effort with legendary producer Butch Vig, with whom Grohl worked on Nirvana’s classic album Nevermind. Former Nirvana member Krist Novoselic will also return along with other surprise guest artists.
