Kraftwerk: Pop Art

Kraftwerk have always managed to shift effortlessly between the worlds of Popular Music and Art. Using state of the art electronics, video imagery and graphic art, and eschewing the cults of personality and stardom, they have remained enigmatic and extraordinarily influential on a generation of musicians and artists. This documentary represents the first film ever made and approved by the band and includes excerpts from their recent sell-out performances at the Tate Modern in London. With contributions from critics and fellow musicians, as well as previously unseen archives, it represents a portrait of a band whose refusal to follow the well-trodden paths of pop stardom made them a genuine force for cultural change, innovation and intrigue.
