"DIG!" documentary returns for 20th anniversary screenings

The documentary "DIG!" is returning to theaters to celebrate its 20th anniversary. Directed by Ondi Timoner, the film first premiered in 2004 and explores the stories of two indie rock bands, The Dandy Warhols and The Brian Jonestown Massacre. "Dig!" won the Sundance Grand Jury Prize when it was released, thanks to over 2,500 hours of footage filmed over seven years. The new version, titled "DIG! XX," will show for one night only on March 25, with an extended release starting on March 28. This updated edition of the film features new narration by Joel Gion from The Brian Jonestown Massacre. The story discusses the struggles faced by both bands as they navigated the music industry and the conflict between art and fame. Members of The Dandy Warhols have expressed mixed feelings about the documentary. Courtney Taylor-Taylor mentioned it didn't portray their experience accurately and felt their band was used as a backdrop for The Brian Jonestown Massacre's story. The film’s soundtrack features many songs from both bands. Highlights include hits like "Bohemian Like You" by The Dandy Warhols and "Anemone" by The Brian Jonestown Massacre. This diverse collection of music captures the essence of the era and the style of both bands.
