Oxford film named after a Radiohead song has its London premiere

Anyone Can Play Guitar, Jon Spira's documentary about the Oxford music scene, has its London premiere at BFI Southbank tonight, Friday 4 November. It takes its name from the Radiohead song, track six of Pablo Honey, and Ed O'Brien is one of the musicians interviewed in it.

Spira made the film independently over about three years. Stewart Lee narrates, and it covers Oxford from 1978 to 2007, taking in Radiohead, Ride, Supergrass and Swervedriver. It is already out on DVD, and Radiohead talked about it recently on Stuart Maconie and Mark Radcliffe's radio show. A tour of cinemas follows through November, starting in Hereford on 9 November and reaching the Phoenix Picturehouse in Oxford on 15 November.

Tonight's screening, in the BFI's Sonic Cinema strand, has sold out. Afterwards Adam Buxton hosts a Q&A, for which The Quietus lists Spira, Gaz Coombes of Supergrass, Colin Greenwood and O'Brien.
