Ondi Timoner | 2024 | USA | 146m
with Anton Newcombe and Courtney Taylor-Taylor

20 years ago, the Sundance Film Festival was rocked by DIG!, Ondi Timoner’s genre-topping rockumentary about two Gen-X bands and their journey to alt-rock glory. Shot over nearly a decade, DIG! explores the collision of art and commerce through the star-crossed friendship and bitter rivalry of duelling ‘90s California bands The Dandy Warhols and The Brian Jonestown Massacre.

Through their loves and obsessions, gigs, arrests and death threats, uppers and downers, and ultimately to their shot at mainstream success, they stage a self-proclaimed revolution in the music industry.

DIG! XX – a bigger, better, crazier expanded version of the original cut – reminds us why the original is canon and why sometimes, more is better. Dave Grohl calls it “the greatest rock ’n’ roll documentary of all time.” He’s not kidding.

“It's about what it is to try and make art in a corporate world, and you start empathizing with the stubbornness it takes to keep going.” - Amy Nicholson, FilmWeek (KPCC-NPR Los Angeles)

“After all these years, this documentary is still as jarring, hilarious, and deeply strange as it ever was, and these new additions only make this shocking story even more astonishing.” - Ross Bonaime, Collider

“DIG! XX is magnificent and fiery, an artistic telling of a story that is frequently misunderstood because of our society’s tendency to put a premium on obedience rather than free will, even in art.” - Delores Quintana, Santa Monica Mirror

Winner: Grand Jury Prize for Documentary - Sundance Film Festival 2004
