Iggy Pop Raindance juror

Raindance, now in its fifteenth year, is on from September 25 – October 7 2007 in London's West End.

This year the jury is, like always, very music focused with Iggy Pop and Mick Jones from The Clash as jurors! Last year Lou Reed did the honors! Raindance has a reputation for its strong interest in music in film, and in the past has programmed some great rock'n'roll movies including Billy Childish Is Dead, The Devil & Daniel Johnston, Leonard Cohen: I'm Your Man, Neil Young: Heart of Gold, Get Thrashed and Brothers of the Head.

This year Raindance features a whole host of music based films these include:
