MUMBAI: Fremantle Home Entertainment (FHE), the home entertainment division of FremantleMedia, has scooped an award for the 2005 feature length film Punk:Attitude.
FHE walked away with the award for Best Music and Stage Show at the Home Entertainment Week (HEW) Awards of Excellence 2006 held in London, beating competing nominees Jerry Springer: The Opera (Pathe) and Concert of Bangladesh (Warner Vision). Punk:Attitude was also highly commended in this year's Best Extras category.
Punk:Attitude is a 90 minute Don Letts Film, which documents how the punk revolution ignited onto the streets of London and New York in the mid 1970's. It portrays how classic teenage rebellion, combined with the musical and social environment of the time, created the punk movement, as well as how its unique identity of independence and D.I.Y. (Do It Yourself) ideology has continued to define youth culture. The movie takes a highly original look at this movement and has sold-out to rapturous audiences at both the Tribeca Film Festival and the Cannes Film Festival in 2005.
It is distributed internationally by FHE and is available on double disk DVD, which features over two hours of extras including featurettes on women in punk, fashion, fanzines, record companies and much more. The set also comes complete with a replica of Sniffin Glue magazine.
