Elephant Days, a new documentary from The Maccabees focusing on the Elephant and Castle area of London, will receive its premiere at the BFI London Film Festival on October 12th.

The band have called Elephant and Castle their home for a decade, and used the area as the chief inspiration during the recording of ‘Marks To Prove It‘. The film centres around seven local stories, including The Maccabees’ work on their latest studio album.

“When we play the new songs live, having the record and the film with it as a document, that’s the celebration,” says Felix White. “Playing’ Given To the Wild’ at Ally Pally, knowing what had gone into that album too – that was the congratulations. I hope we will be able to enjoy this in its own way.”

‘Marks To Prove It’ went to number one in the UK last month – read Live4ever’s verdict right here.
