Due to popular demand the short film Roger Sargent edited as a visual history of the band and was screened before The Libertines walked out onto the stage in front of 65,000 fans at Hyde Park in the summer, is being made available to watch below.
The fifteen minute short film is made up of old footage and photos from Roger Sargent’s extensive Libertines archive, including unheard interview footage from Roger’s acclaimed 2010 documentary “There Are No Innocent Bystanders” and footage from Libertines Alley in Bethnal Green.
Along with unseen footage from The Libertines Freedom gig in Chatham at the Tap ’n’ Tin in 2003(supplied by Dean Fragile) and footage from the bands original music videos by Gina Birch amongst others. The short film does not contain anything from the bands reformation in 2014.
It was decided to make the film available now after a frenzy on Twitter and Facebook from fans from across the world asking to see it or see it again. Roger adds “I made this short film to be shown before the Hyde Park show and wanted it to convey how important the band are, how much we missed them and how good it was too have them back.”
