Totally Shameless Plug No. 00001: It's All Gone Pete Tong

If you happen to be in the Toronto area tonight, looking for a film a little out of the ordinary, check out the Event happening at The Revue Cinema. A special screening of the film It's All Gone Pete Tong takes place, followed by a special Q&A with director and creator, Michael Dowse. The film, already destined for cult status, is the story of a famous, loud, foul-mouthed DJ, Frankie Wilde, who finds he is quickly losing his hearing. Living a drug and alcohol filled lifestyle just encourages Frankie to fall deeper into depression, until he finally finds a reason to go on.

Shot in a mock doc style, like Spinal Tap for the Trance crowd, real major DJ's are shown in interviews reacting to Frankie and his condition. Filmed in sunny Ibiza, home to the sun worshipping hedonists, hippies, and jet set club kids, we see Frankie's life go from debauchery to delight as he recovers on the island with the help of an attractive deaf school teacher.

Tickets are $10 for non-members, and the screening begins at 7 pm.
