‘DIY The Rise and Fall and Rise of Punk Rock’ is a deep dive into the legacy of punk rock — from its gritty beginnings in 1980s Southern California garages to the genre’s ongoing influence on music, fashion, and culture today.
What started as a small project documenting the Austrian punk rock label SBÄM at its festivals in Europe quickly grew into something bigger. Filmmakers, along with SBÄM’s Stefan Beham and co-producers Joel Herrera and Rolo Cantu, realized they weren’t just telling the story of European punk — they were capturing a global movement, seen through the eyes of the people who lived it.
