It will see the light of day in 2008! I'm excited!
Some info:
"With nearly two years of filming under his belt, filmmaker Eric Green of L.A.-based Hypnagogia Films is nearing completion of his documentary chronicling the 1985-91 shoegaze movement of Great Britain. Titled Beautiful Noise, it’s about the influence of the Cocteau Twins, Jesus & Mary Chain and My Bloody Valentine and the subsequent rise of outfits such as Ride, Curve, Slowdive, Lush, Chapterhouse, Swervedriver, Pale Saints and Boo Radleys, as well as more ambient-inclined and experimental artists like Flying Saucer Attack, AR Kane and Seefeel.
According to Hypnagogia, these stories will be told through contemporary interviews and via archival concert footage, outlining how, for the most part, the groups “resisted having a marketable image and sound, and how their individuality, while sabotaging their mainstream commercial appeal, eventually led to an indelible impact on modern music.”
Among the personalities interviewed for the film: Robin Guthrie and Simon Raymonde (Cocteau Twins), Jim Reid and Bobby Gillespie (Jesus & Mary Chain), Kevin Shields (My Bloody Valentine), Dave Pearce (Flying Saucer Attack), Mark Gardener (Ride), Neil Halstead (Slowdive), Martin Carr (Boo Radleys), Emma Anderson (Lush), Alan Moulder, Alan McGee, Wayne Coyne, Trent Reznor, Billy Corgan and Robert Smith.
The film company adds that the documentary is a labor of love—“a DIY, passion project.” Aficionados of the shoegaze scene would no doubt agree, and suggest that such a welcome project is long overdue."

Sounds good, that name (shoegaze) doesn't do the music justice, theres quite a diverse lot there. Happens a lot though. I'd be into seeing this.

I agree, it's a misleading and stupid term, much like 'idm'.... But I totally see where they wanna go with this movie and I'm thrilled!

shoegaze isn't that diverse... i mean it bleeds into other styles quite a bit, but i don't think there's much danger in misinterpreting someone when they describe something as such.
