BRITPOP LIVES FOREVER A new film documenting the rise of Britpop is to be released in the UK next year, dotmusic can report.
'Live Forever' charts the resurgence of British music, art, fashion, film and politics in the 1990's and features contributions from Liam Gallagher, Damon Albarn, Jarvis Cocker, Damien Hirst, Peter Mandelson MP, designer Ozwald Boateng, and magazine editor James Brown amongst others.
Kicking off with the Stone Roses' now legendary Spike Island concert, the film also takes a nostalgic look back at the Oasis vs Blur standoff, Oasis' Knebworth gig, Labour's return to power and the return of pop music towards the end of the century.
Producer John Battsek has revealed plans to release the movie in the States soon after its UK release. He told Xfm: "The reaction from the US so far has been really good. They love the Britishness of it and in typical US-style love the chance to embrace a film that salutes British culture."
Battsek said there were plans for an accompanying soundtrack album to the film, though details were still to be confirmed.
'Live Forever' is due to be released in the UK on January 31, with a London Film Festival premiere scheduled for November 12.
