apparently so. can't imagine how that must have been for him.

it really is quite something, funny bits in some comments where people shit on him for being so edgy, yet at the same time the band is called 1975 and is the most revivalist indie thing imaginable

We Are Making a Film About Mark Fisher is not a documentary. Less biography than collective memory-work, the project inhabits the gaps and glitches in cultural time where Fisher’s voice still resonates.
Developed openly on Instagram (@markfisherfilm), the film is stitched together with no budget, no studio backing, no institutional permissions – just the circuitry of solidarity, shared labour, and digital proximity. In this, the film enacts what Fisher insisted was still possible: decapitalised cultural production, collective agency in the ruins of neoliberal atomisation. A reminder that DIY doesn’t mean private – it means mutual.
Nine disjointed chapters drift across hauntological terrain: from Felixstowe’s windblown beaches to the CCRU’s delirial hyperstition lab; from k-punk’s midnight blog posts to the echoing chambers of The Vampire Castle; from viral slogans (it’s easier to imagine the end of the world) to streets filled with protest and grief. These aren’t scenes in a life — they’re pulses in a system that won’t let go.
So the ACTUAL official K-Punk film, featuring Danny Dyer as Mark and Emilia Clarke as Nina, ISN'T being made?? I was supposed to be in it - there's a bit where they go to see Sutcliffe Jugend live and I'm on the sound desk, wearing a t-shirt that says DEATH FUCK, and Mark asks me where the toilet is and I say "I've 'ad me 'ed in Whitehouse's amps for 20 years and I'm deaf as a post! But I don't care". This new film sounds shit.

I like that someone's made it, but I'm not particularly curious about seeing it. The write up on the site's pretty wanky and I can't imagine there's much there that you can't already get from reading the books/blog.
