One Nine Nine Four is a documentary film written and directed by Jai Al-Attas, "exploring the birth, growth and eventual tipping point of punk rock during the 90's".[1] Produced by the independent Australian company Robot Academy Films, the movie is expected to be released on 9 October 2009.[2] The bulk of the film's content will consists of band interviews and archive footage.[3] It was announced that the film would be shown once at the Calgary International Film Festival on September, 29th.[4]

The film is narrated by skateboarder Tony Hawk and features interviews and footage of various bands and figures in the punk scene including Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day, Dexter Holland from The Offspring, Greg Graffin and Brett Gurewitz from Bad Religion, Tim Armstrong from Rancid and Fat Mike from NOFX. Tom DeLonge and Mark Hoppus from Blink-182 also appear in the film.[1]

As of September 22, 2009, music clearances fees have prevented the producer from legally releasing the film and the filmmakers have turned to fundraising in order to release it publicly.[citation needed]
