Amy Grill ,2009, 90 min. | US
For Speaking in Code, Amy Grill and husband David follow their favorite electronic DJs from techno festivals in Barcelona to warehouse parties in hometown Boston, profiling the scene and chasing dancefloor nirvana. Like all the best docs, this straightforward concept gets way more interesting in practice, when acts like Modeselektor blow up overnight, the huge Wighnomy Brothers might be breaking apart, and Grill's own marriage crumbles on-camera. As Amy struggles to complete her film, David becomes so distant (trying to make techno happen in the unlikely city of Boston), that his on-camera interviews become some of the only times they talk.
