Dubuque brings back in-person film festival starting this weekend
Filmmaker Chelsea Christer
A music documentary about a rock band that approached the brink of stardom as the music industry went digital will be featured at the Julien Dubuque Film Festival which opens Sunday in that northeast Iowa city.
Chelsea Christer, a filmmaker from San Francisco, will be in Dubuque for the festival to host question-and-answer sessions at screenings of her film, “Bleeding Audio,” which follows the band, The Matches.
“It uses their story to dig a little deeper into what was going on in the music industry in the early 2000s,” Christer says. “The story is a portrait of hope and redemption for bands that have tried and maybe failed in their mind and it also is just a beautiful look into the community of fans that music can create.”
