Desolation Center(2018)

Desolation Center is a documentary that unearths the radical punk and industrial desert gatherings of 1980s Southern California that laid the groundwork for modern festivals like Burning Man, Lollapalooza, and Coachella. Through rare performance footage and interviews, the film chronicles the underground movement that brought together artists including Sonic Youth, Minutemen, Meat Puppets, Redd Kross, Einstürzende Neubauten, Survival Research Laboratories, Savage Republic, and Swans. These guerrilla events, largely forgotten until now, shaped the ethos of experimental music and countercultural spectacle that defines festival culture today. Desolation Center recovers a vital chapter of American underground history, revealing how a scrappy community of musicians and artists created something transformative in the desert wasteland.
