77 Boadrum Documentary Film Premiere

Remember the awesomeness of 88 Boadrum? Well, last year’s equally awesome event, 77 Boadrum, was caught on film and will have its international premiere in New York on October 13. The documentary clocks in at 89 minutes and is in Japanese with English subtitles (we’re assuming the drumming itself doesn’t need any translating). Check out the press release below:

On July 7th, 2007 at 7:07pm, Japan’s musical innovators THE BOREDOMS orchestrated a performance by 77 drummers in New York City. This momentous event was documented by artist Jun Kawaguchi, showing the raw musical force of the instrument and the unique vision of THE BOREDOMS as they brought their experiment to fruition. 77 BOADRUM is the result, and a captivating one at that.

77 BOADRUM, Jun’s first feature film, was chosen by enthusiastic Boredoms admires and music fans, making it one of the top 10 popular films at the  New York – Tokyo Film Grand Prix 2008 early on. The film will be premiered at NYTFGP2008 FESTIVAL, with a special guest appearance by Jun and a gathering of drummers who participated in the event.
