Featuring the unprecedented participation of the surviving members of Joy Division, now known as New Order, the film chronicles a time of great social and political change in England of the mid-1970's. The band's remarkable story is depicted through never-before-seen live performance footage, photographs, period films and newly unearthed audio tapes.
This account of a time and place is coupled with present tense accounts from band members Bernard Sumner, Peter Hook and Stephen Morris, plus key characters including friend and musician Genesis P. Orridge, the late Factory Records owner Tony Wilson, graphic artist Peter Saville, photographer/filmmaker Anton Corbijn, Belgian journalist Annik Honoré (speaking for the first time about her relationship with Ian Curtis) and others.

2. CALL FOR NOMINATIONS >> 2010 TOM BERNER AWARD
Nominations must reach LIFT by Friday January 29
The Liaison of Independent Filmmakers of Toronto (LIFT) and the Images Festival are calling for nominees for the 2010 TOM BERNER AWARD for Extraordinary Support of Independent Filmmaking.
The TOM BERNER AWARD was created in 2002 to honour Tom Berner, who was an extraordinary supporter of independent filmmaking in Toronto and throughout Canada. Tom retired from DELUXE Laboratories in 2001 after being actively involved with organizations like the National Screen Institute's Drama Prize Program, the OMDC's Calling Card Program, and the CFC's Worldwide Short Film Festival. Tom tirelessly assisted hundreds of independent filmmakers who approached him for advice and help. Tom Berner passed away in December 2004.
Initiated in 2002 by filmmakers Sarah Abbott and Mark Wihak, THE TOM BERNER AWARD recognizes individuals who provide 'extraordinary support for independent filmmaking' in Toronto. Please note: 'Extraordinary' indicates activities above and beyond any obligations of employment or business, and should reflect contributions over a sustained period.
'Support' should be broadly interpreted, and could include individuals who provide Toronto's vibrant independent film community with: production and post-production assistance; creative mentorship; writing about independent film; programming, curating and promotion of independent film; providing facilities for the exhibition of independent film and/or creation of new initiatives that support independent film.
Incomplete nominations will not be considered. The award will be decided by a jury of knowledgeable peers from the independent film community, and will be presented at the awards ceremony of the Images Festival in April 2010.
