We Are Fugazi from Washington, D.C. is a 96-minute film that pays tribute to the legendary post-hardcore band Fugazi, renowned for their DIY ethos and electrifying live performances.
Curated by Joe Gross, Joseph Pattisall and Jeff Krulik, the film is explicitly billed as a “non-documentary”, emphasising its unique approach to storytelling.
Rather than following a traditional documentary format, the film is a collage of fan-recorded concert footage and rare archival material, celebrating both the band’s dynamic stage presence and the passionate community that supported them.
It captures the raw energy of Fugazi’s performances and the fervour of their fans, offering an immersive experience that resonates with both longtime followers and newcomers.
This project commemorates the 20th anniversary of Fugazi’s final live show on November 4, 2002, at London’s Forum. By showcasing fan-sourced footage, the film not only honours the band’s legacy but also highlights the collective memory and impact of their music within the community.
We Are Fugazi from Washington, D.C. serves as a testament to the band’s enduring influence and the vibrant culture that surrounded them, offering a heartfelt homage to a group that left an indelible mark on the music scene.
