The second annual LOOK3 Festival of the Photograph starts the show nearly a week early with a screening of Control, a biopic about the Manchester, England, punk act Joy Division and the life and death of the group’s lead singer, Ian Curtis. The film will screen at Vinegar Hill Theatre on Friday, June 6, at 9:30pm, for a ticket price of $10.
The film is quite a score for the photo fest, as Control hasn’t been released in the U.S. yet (though it has already racked up a fair share of awards in Britain). And while director Anton Corbijn won’t attend the festival, his film shouldn’t have too much trouble finding an audience among the photophiles: Corbijn is one of the biggest names in rock photography and has snapped for magazines from Spin to Rolling Stone.
