All Tomorrow's Parties- A DIY Concert Film

'All Tomorrow’s Parties is a fiercely independent festival that many music lovers regard as one of the most important music events in the world. In an intimate and communal atmosphere, free of corporate sponsorship, it serves up a heady combination of alternative music, crazy golf and chalet-living, with musicians and fans living side by side. At each festival a band or artist is chosen to gather up their favourite artists who perform over a weekend in an out-of-season holiday camp by the sea. Sonic Youth’s Thurston Moore described the festival as the ‘ultimate mix tape’

Warp films decided to chronicle the festival with the help of Jonathan Caouette (Tarnation) and cinematography by Vincent Moon (The Take Away Shows, Arcade Fire). The intriguing documentary depicts the phenomenal culture of the music festival by using camcorder and cell phone footage from over two hunderd filmmakers, fans and musician. Acting as a DYI concert, the film features performance from artists as Sonic Youth, Belle and Sebastian, Animal Collective, Portishead and Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
