“Just seen this one in an independent modern art cinema with a bunch of some 250 young people, who seemed to be interested on what was going on on the big screen rather than on their mobile screens, despite the movie comes in original (English) with subtitles.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFirst of all, this one has a proper trailer, which really catches the spirit and the atmosphere of whatu0026#39;s thing is about (interviews, memories, some funny moments etc. with solid harsh noises on the background). However, the duration is less than an hour, so this well-thought out and well felt documentary is a bit too short. All the headliners, including Throbbing Gristle, SPK, Cabaret Voltaire, NON etc. are there, and quite memorable, but the impression of introductory videotape is strong afterward. On the other hand, itu0026#39;s clear that duration increase could have led to audience narrowing, so the result is rather well balanced. For me as a listener of these titles and their albums this one seemed rather short, however for most in 2015 itu0026#39;s just OK I guess, to raise the interest in the genre, to unveil the legend.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003ePersonally it was nice to hear a couple of words from Stefan Alt, whou0026#39;s contribution (Ant-Zen) is next wave, post-industrial actually, however he said the right words which set up bonds of the genres, further into wider audience and popular culture.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI would recommend watching ISFTUD for anyone from 16+, interested in alternative and counter culture, to widen the limits of perception, submitted by society norms, besides the filmu0026#39;s message is clear and positive — one should forget fear and confusion if thereu0026#39;s a mission felt to deliver and share a sort of alternative culture, aside from stereotypes, and when itu0026#39;s accomplished, it could bring wealth as well, just like in pop culture.”
