Brothers of the Head -- In the 1970s a music promoter plucks Siamese twins from obscurity and grooms them into a freakish rock'n'roll act. A dark tale of sex, strangeness and rock music.

In the 1970s, a music promoter discovers conjoined twins Tom and Barry Howe (Luke and Harry Treadaway) and grooms them into a freakish rock act. Gifted with enough talent and drive to parlay their band into a proto-punk sensation, the twins move beyond their sideshow roots. But darkness hangs over them, as they engage in jealous battles over their shared lover and deal with a dormant but sinister third head growing out of Barry's left shoulder.

This feverish, mind-bending odyssey follows conjoined twins who are groomed into a searing Punk duo in the grimy 1970s. They share songs, they share fans, and they share women, even as their personal identities grow apart. A 2007 Spirit Award nominee for Best Cinematography, this IFC film takes you into a world of freaks and Rock & Roll.

This digital-video biopic uses the life of journalist, record mogul and club owner Tony Wilson to frame the story of the Manchester, England, music scene from the heyday of punk through the late-'80s "Madchester" era. Wilson (Steve Coogan) was an ambitious but frustrated local TV news reporter looking for a way to make his mark. After witnessing a life-changing concert by an unknown band known as the Sex Pistols, he persuades his station to televise one of their performances, and soon Manchester's punk groups are clamoring for him to manage them. As the founder of staunchly independent Factory Records, Wilson shepherded the careers of doomed post-punk combo Joy Division, synth-pop superstars New Order and hedonistic louts the Happy Mondays. Along the way, he helped bring rave culture to Britain under the aegis of the legendary Hacienda nightclub. 24 Hour Party People follows Wilson from his conversion to punk at a seminal Sex Pistols concert through the suicide of Joy Division singer Ian Curtis, the overwhelming success of New Order and the eventual dissolution of the Factory empire thanks to bad business decisions, underworld ties and the hedonistic excess of the Happy Mondays. Packed with an incredible soundtrack and a famous cast of characters, 24 Hour Party People is a sprawling, energetic, and humorous history of one of the most important periods in modern music.

A quintet of British teens attempts to leave behind the malaise of their 9-to-5 lives with weekend escapes into the drug-fueled club culture. Come Friday night, ringleader Jip and his pals -- best friend Koop, burger-flipping Nina, man-hating Lulu and jobless Moff -- light out for 48 hours of ephemeral revelry. Though each suffers from a raft of personal problems, they're easily swept away by drinking, designer drugs and dancing the nights away.
