Anytime an event is heralded by live bagpipes, you know you're in for something spectacular. Such was the case when American Cinematheque and Flux hosted an advance screening of the White Stripes documentary Under Great White Northern Lights at the Egyptian Theater in Hollywood. Shot mainly on black and white 16 mm film, Emmet Malloy's feature is a fascinating and voyeuristic peek inside the inner workings of a band that's been described as "more real and more fake than any other American rock band". It chronicles Jack and Meg White's epic cross-country Canadian during the summer of 2007 and features intimate interviews intercut with sparse performances in run-down diners and endless miles of frozen tundra. The White Stripes have officially canceled their upcoming fall U.S tour, but fans can get the next best thing with this visually arresting and stirring piece of work. Under Great White Northern Lights will be officially released on March 16th.
