The Public Image Is Rotten, new documentary about Public Image Ltd premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival on April 21st. The film is an intimate look at PiL and features archival footage and tons of candid moments with Lydon and bandmates Martin Atkins, and Jah Wobble, among others in the band's inner circle.
After the Tribeca premiere director Tabbert Fiiller took part in a question/answer session with Variety's Cynthia Littleton. John Lydon showed up to crash the Q & A, and lucky for us a fan was at the event and filmed a chunk of the action. Though the fan-filmed video is a bit shaky at times, the audio is terrific and there's tons of great Lydon moments (as well as awkward ones). Check out the action here on You Tube.
So far plans for a wider screening of The Public Image Is Rotten have not been announced.
