Art Los Angeles Contemporary in association with Gavin Brown’s enterprise, presents the Los Angeles premiere of The Posters Came From The Walls

A film by 2004 Turner Prize winner Jeremy Deller & Nick Abrahams, The Posters Came From the Walls (Depeche Mode fans from around the world), tells stories of faith and devotion from around the world in this fascinating and inspired documentary about fandom.

Depeche Mode is a musical act that inspires such above-and-beyond devotion from its fans that to the uninitiated, the followers’ behavior seems otherworldly, like something out of a movie. But unlike the pompadoured Morrissey clones, the tearful MJ flock or the face-painted slaphappy “Juggalos” — Depeche Mode fans encompass all these qualities and more. Deller and Abrahams’ new doc not only dives into the juicy details of just how thoroughly the band’s fans can out-fan each other, but also how the band’s rise to popularity and the late ’80s anti-Communist revolutions behind the Iron Curtain dovetailed, producing a generation of swooning Eastern European life-long devotees.
