Flatmates Viago (#TaikaWaititi), Deacon (Jonny Brugh), and Vladislav (Jemaine Clement) are three vampires who are just trying to get by in modern society; from paying rent and sticking to the housework roster to trying to get invited in to nightclubs, they're just like anyone else - except they're immortal and must feast on human blood.
When their 8000 year-old flatmate Petyr, turns 20-something human hipster Nick, into a vampire, the guys must teach him the ropes and guide him through his new found eternal life. And in return they are forced to learn a thing or two about modern society, fashions, technology, and the internet. But it's the introduction of Nick's human friend, Stu, that really changes the vampire's lives and attitudes towards the ever-changing world around them.
When Stu's life is threatened, the vamps show us that maybe humans are worth fighting for, and that even though your heart may be cold and dead, it doesn't mean you can't feel anything. #WhatWeDoInTheShadows

Director Ondi Timoner will attend both screenings of Dig! XX at MIFF with an intro and Q&A.

A classic tale of fame and destruction is revisited in this reconstructed rock doc about The Dandy Warhols and The Brian Jonestown Massacre.
In 2004, Dig! won the Sundance Grand Jury Prize for Documentary and became a definitive examination of the 90s indie rock scene; the Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl has even described it as “the greatest rock ’n’ roll documentary of all time”. Charting the mainstream success of The Dandy Warhols and the spiralling implosion of The Brian Jonestown Massacre (especially volatile frontman Anton Newcombe), the film was like nothing before it. Twenty years later, Dig! XX adds over 40 minutes of new material and brings fans up to date on the bands’ tug-of-war between art and commerce.
