The Quietus At Leisure: Trailer II from theQuietus on Vimeo.

Over the past two years, Quietus co-editor Luke Turner and director Ethan Reid have wandered the UK making a series of films about the non-musical habits and hobbies of some of The Quietus' favourite cult musicians. Two more of these will be shown as part of the film programme at Supersonic Festival next weekend. We love these musicians for their art, but what do these people get up to in their spare time, and what can we learn about them from it? We're pleased to be able to premiere two of these short films at Supersonic 2014. Steve Ignorant needs no introduction: a righteous son of Dagenham, he was the voice of Crass for years, and with new band Paranoid Visions continues to fly the flag for no compromise punk rock. It's an attitude that extends to every area of his life - now living in North Norfolk, Steve has managed to find himself on the crew of an autonomous, non-RNLI lifeboat, we take to the grey waters of the North Sea with Steve and find out what would have happened if he'd found Margaret Thatcher drowning. You might not ordinarily associate indie rock with the macho rough and tumble of American Football, but Alan Sparhawk is a lifelong enthusiast for and player of the sport. He valiantly tries to train The Quietus' Luke to catch and throw in the Barbican foyer (with little success), tells us about a particularly gruesome sporting injury, and reveals an unexpected emotional side of his participation. We'll also be screening two further films: Cosey Fanni Tutti (COUM, Throbbing Gristle, Carter Tutti) on vegetable gardening and striving to attain self-sufficiency without using pesticides, and Stephen Morris (Joy Division and New Order) demonstrating and discussing some of his collection of military vehicles, and the unusual Beltring military festival, where policemen like to dress as Nazis. Watch the trailer for that below:
