All Tomorrow’s Parties DVD – Belle & Sebastian, Battles

A compilation of alternative music from the seaside indie rock festival ‘All Tomorrow’s Parties’. Filmed on a variety of formats, from fans’ mobile phones, to Super 8 and camcorders, the film captures the flavour of the festival that was conceived as an alternative to larger and more commercial events. Bands featured include Belle And Sebastian, Sonic Youth, Portishead, Mogwai, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, the Gossip, Seasick Steve and Iggy Pop.

All Tomorrow’s Parties is a kaleidoscopic journey into the parallel musical universe of the cult music festival of the same name. The film is the result of a three-year project to document the legendary cult music festival from it’s beginnings, and is a semi-found multi media bricolage shot by over two hundred filmmakers, fans and musicians on a variety of formats including camcorders, Super 8 and mobile phones, with key contributions from co-director Jonathan Caouette (Tarnation) and cinematographer Vincent Moon (The Take Away Shows, Arcade Fire).
