The Triumph & Tragedy of Martin Phillipps

With respect to the passing of lyrical genius Martin Phillipps, The Village Community Cinema feels it's timely to screen The Chills: the Triumph & Tragedy of Martin Phillipps for Our All About Art programme.

The story of Martin Phillipps and his band, The Chills.
This intimate portrait follows the eccentric Martin, as he reconciles a lifetime’s worth of curious collections, looks back on a catalogue of heavenly pop hits and reclaims his place in the iconic Flying Nun and Dunedin sound. With a startling sense of humour even in the blackest moments, we bear witness to one man’s universal battle with the fear of failure and the jarring reality of his own mortality.
Listen to the rock music that personifies 1980s New Zealand, when people loved their leather jackets, and lived through the doldrums. Discover one of New Zealand’s most important songwriters and the groundbreaking era that changed the way the world appreciated New Zealand music - Madman NZ
