“Revisiting the live performances, recorded almost 40 years previously, was an incredible experience. The intervening years had diminished none of the raw power and sheer exaltation of a Birthday Party show and it was this extraordinary energy which both informed and fuelled the film. The Birthday Party’s career was spectacular, incendiary and chaotic but it is the incredible music, towering over all else which, in my mind at least, preserves the band’s epic legacy.” (Ian White)

From humble beginnings in suburban Australia, The Birthday Party grew to become one of the most influential acts of their time – commanding a level of respect which remains undiminished to this day. Singer Nick Cave’s incendiary vocals and guitarist Rowland S. Howard’s groundbreaking sonics stunned audiences across the globe. By the time of their inevitable disintegration they’d been labelled the most dangerous band in the world.

On 12 September 1919, a troop of some three hundred soldiers under the leadership of the flamboyant war-loving Italian poet Gabriele D’Annunzio swooped into the Northern-Adriatic port town of Fiume, now Rijeka, wanting to annex the city to Italy. Over the course of the next 16 months, during what is regarded as one of the most bizarre militant sieges of all time his official photography team captured over 10,000 images. A century later, Igor Bezinović orchestrates a direct-action history lesson focused on the siege and its modern-day implications.
