A Way to Die: The Films of Peter Christopherson and John Balance

This documentary features the founders of Coil, Peter Christopherson and John Balance, who are known for their experimental industrial British music. Their films, which were shot on 8 and 16mm film, defy categorization and are infused with themes of body horror, urban nightmares, and gay masochist aesthetics.

Timeless Editions has exhumed and restored these films, offering a glimpse into the tormented imagination of Christopherson and Balance, marked by their distinctive blend of Eros and Thanatos. This documentary is not only a tribute to their creative legacy but also includes contributions from Monte Cazazza, another key figure in the industrial music movement, who has since passed away.

With a unique presentation haunted by the duo's music, A Way to Die invites viewers into a limbo of their artistic vision. It is a significant document for those interested in the intersections of experimental cinema and music, providing a comprehensive look at the duo's impact on the genre.
