New Manic Street Preachers documentary No Manifesto to hit cinemas

Film features 'unprecedented access'

A new documentary about Manic Street Preachers is set to hit cinemas this month before a full DVD release. Watch the full No Manifesto trailer below.

No Manifesto is a film by WibblyWobbly productions, comprising footage that begins during the band's 2005 Past, Present and Future tour and spanning tours and recording sessions for subsequent albums leading up towards the present day.

"For the making of No Manifesto, the Manics provided unprecedented access," said the filmmakers in a statement. "The film tells the story of the band’s rise from mouthy punks to international renown, takes a fascinating look at the band's creative process, and joins them on tour.

"By combining footage shot at home and on the road with rare archival materials and fan interviews that provide commentary, lore, criticism and praise, No Manifesto gives a comprehensive look at a most unusual band."

Premieres of the film will begin in cinemas at the end of this month, before a general release on DVD and Blu-Ray on 16 February 2015.
