Arcade Fire will document the making of their 2013 double album ‘Reflektor‘ with their first feature film in September.
“The film recontextualizes the album experience, transporting the viewer into a kaleidoscopic sonic and visual landscape,” a press release claims.
“It charts the band’s creative journey as they lay foundations for the album in Jamaica, commence recording sessions in Montreal and play an impromptu gig at a Haitian hotel on the first night of Carnival, before bringing their breath-taking live show to packed arenas in Los Angeles and London.”
The Reflektor Tapes was filmed by 2013 Sundance Grand Jury Prize for Short Films winner Kahlil Joseph and is to be released to cinemas on September 24th. A trailer is below.
“There were parts of the Reflektor tour where I think we, Arcade Fire, came the closest in our careers to putting on stage what we imagined in our heads,” the band say.
“We were insanely lucky to have Kahlil Joseph documenting from the very beginning.”
