Holding These Moments

About This Movie

Holding These Moments is a raw dive into the world of hardcore music, captured through Dan Elswick's lens during BANE's last US tour. It begins with that familiar energy of a band reaching its climax, but quickly reveals deeper themes of identity and belonging in a scene that's constantly evolving. The pacing feels genuine, mirroring the frenetic pulse of the music itself. What strikes me are the candid interviews with fans and band members, offering a glimpse into their lives and struggles. Elswick's approach is intimate, almost like a personal diary made public. It's not just about the finality of a tour – it’s about the connections forged in the heat of punk's revival, and the challenges of staying true to one’s roots.
