MOBY's "Punk Rock Vegan Movie," a new documentary written and directed by MOBY is available to stream for free now via the SLAMDANCE FILM FESTIVAL website.  

Beginning JANUARY 30th, the film will be available to stream via YOUTUBE and other free platforms. 

The film, representing noted vegan MOBY's directorial debut, premiered on opening night of the 2023 SLAMDANCE FILM FESTIVAL JANUARY 20th in PARK CITY, UT. Described as "a passionate and stylistically idiosyncratic look at the ongoing relationship between the worlds of punk rock and animal rights," it includes interviews with punk icons like IAN MACKAYE, BAD BRAINS' HR, DAVE NAVARRO, AMY LEE, ROB ZOMBIE and CAPTAIN SENSIBLE, among many others. 

MOBY tells the story of how punk rock became such a "fertile and surprising" breeding ground for vegan activism. It’s also a call to action, unapologetically reminding people that in a deeply broken world it’s incumbent upon each of us to stand up and fight intelligently, passionately,\ and loudly against injustice.

Noted MOBY, “’Punk Rock Vegan Movie’ was created to shine a light on the surprising and inspiring history of punk rock and animal rights, but also to remind people of the importance and desperate urgency of adopting the uncompromising ethics and actions of the original punk rock activists. After it makes its world premiere at SLAMDANCE, it's yours. It's my goal to give the movie away, as I can't in good conscience try to profit from what is essentially a labor of love and activism."

A panel discussion with opening and closing night filmmakers MOBY and OFF! members DIMITRI COATS (BURNING BRIDES) and KEITH MORRIS (BLACK FLAG, CIRCLE JERKS), covering the history and intersectionality between the L.A. punk scene, filmmaking, and activism launched JANUARY 23rd on the SLAMDANCE CHANNEL. Virtual passes are available here. Moderated by LAILA HASHEMI, SLAMDANCE alum and keyboardist/vocalist of L.A. punk band THE PARANOYDS.
