What You Could Not Visualise is an intimate portrait of the legendary 4AD band Rema-Rema. Rema-Rema was part of the initial wave of post punk that formed around 1978-1980 after the demise of punk. No footage exists of the band live and only a handful of photos survive creating a myth around the band that still exists today.
Director Marco Porsia of the highly acclaimed documentary on Swans, Where Does a Body End?, goes on an archeological exploration to resurrect the band’s unique history/story and find the driving forces behind their ground breaking sound. As 4AD founder Ivo Watts-Russell notes, “One of the great post punk bands was over before it had begun.” This film puts Rema-Rema back in their rightful place in the history of post punk music.
