Slits documentary to be screened in UK cinemas

By Andy Malt | Published on Thursday 25 January 2018

I had flu a few months ago, and while I was stuck in bed feeling sorry for myself, I read Viv Albertine’s autobiography, ‘Clothes, Clothes, Clothes. Music, Music, Music. Boys, Boys, Boys’. You should read it, it’s a great book.

By the end of it, you’ll probably be thinking, “that was great, I would really like to experience more things related to The Slits”. And, well, if you time it right, you might be able to head straight out to the cinema to watch a new documentary about them.

First screened at last year’s London Film Festival, ‘Here To Be Heard: The Story Of The Slits’ will be shown in cinemas around the UK in March and April this year. It will be released on DVD shortly afterwards.
