Trailers for this beautiful collaboration between Danish collective Efterklang and French film maker extraordinaire Vincent Moon, have been trickling out for months now, one at a time.

“In August 2010, French filmmaker Vincent Moon and Efterklang’s 8 piece-live band met up on an island off the Danish coast.

The objective was to shoot a film. A film with the same length as an album, and a film full of performances, experiments and collaborations. 
Over an intense period of 4 days Efterklang collaborated with more than 200 local musicians, kids and parents, creating new performances and interpretations of songs from their album Magic Chairs (4AD, Rumraket 2010).

It was all filmed by Vincent Moon who same time conducted several filmic and musical experiments with Efterklang as his dedicated playmates.”

The film is to be released February 1st around the world through screenings. The band and director are hosting several of these in the UK, but so badly want to share it that they are opening the possibility to host a screening to the public. There are some rules and guidelines, but you can apply to host your own screening here. I’d love to get one going here in LA, so if you know of any opportunities or spaces let me know! Looking forward to this film as it promises to deliver some of the freshest eyes on creative musical collaborations possible.
