REDCAT: Roy and Edna Disney/CalArts Theater (Los Angeles, CA)
Before iTunes killed rock radio, Seattle DJ Marco Collins took it to its apex in the grunge-rock ’90s by breaking bands like Prodigy, Nirvana, Beck, Garbage and Weezer to his insatiably loyal listeners. But beneath Collin’s remarkable career, addiction and sexual repression pushed his personal life to the brink. Director Marq Evans’ rapturous and nostalgic documentary The Glamour and the Squalor weaves interviews with Shirley Manson of Garbage and Carrie Brownstein (Sleater-Kinney, Portlandia) alongside archival conversations with Kurt Cobain to help shed light onto Collins’ inner-turmoil. The renegade spirit of the ’90s will re-awaken when The Glamour and the Squalor screens at the Roy and Edna Disney/CalArts Theater as part of L.A.’s LGBT film festival Outfest.
