Plot Outline:A kaleidoscopic journey into the parallel musical universe of cult music festival All Tomorrow's Parties.

In an out-of-season holiday camp on the coast of England, alternative music festival All Tomorrow’s Parties serves up a heady combination of alternative music, crazy golf and chalet-living; all curated by a single band or artist. This post-punk DIY bricolage uses material generated by the fans and musicians themselves, on a multitude of formats and over the history of ATP, to capture the uncompromising spirit of a parallel music universe

At last! I've spent two years being excited about this.

Damn, theres a lot of stuff we have to buy this year.

I believe the Sun Ra Arkestra did play an ATP, but Ra had been well and truly dead for six years by the time of the first one!

whoooooaaaa.

thanks.

anyone know from what ATP the SY footage is?

I'm glad ATP moved from Camber Sands to minehead, otherwise I wouldn't have gone simply because...well, it's Camber Sands.

Sounds good.

And that's a really beautiful photo.

I assume Thurston's Nightmare before Christmas in 2006, but don't take my word for it.

ATP FILM launches at SXSW

All Tomorrow’s Parties is a DIY concert film featuring performances from an eclectic mix of some of the most influential or groundbreaking artists including Battles, Sonic Youth, Belle And Sebastian, Grinderman, Iggy and the Stooges, Portishead, Mogwai, Slint, Grizzly Bear, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, the Gossip, Daniel Johnston, and The Boredoms.

The film is a semi-found bricolage made from Super8, camcorder and mobile phone footage much of it contributed by over two hundred filmmakers, fans and musicians over the festival’s recent history, with key contributions from Jonathan Caouette (Tarnation) and Vincent Moon (The Take Away Shows, Arcade Fire).

All Tomorrow’s Parties will have it’s World Premiere at the SXSW Film Festival, screening on 14th, 19th and 21st March. To celebrate, we will be having a party on Tuesday March 17th, Emo’s Main Stage starring:

Octopus Project
The Drones
Sleepy Sun
Micah Hinson

Tickets $10. We will be showing excerpts of the film and an exclusive Vincent Moon ATP film premiere. Special guest DJ Barry Hogan.

Were there cameras during that show? I can't remember, but then I was standing pretty far from the stage.

However, I do remember there being lots of cameras (at least 4 or 5, including Chris Habib) during SY's show at the 2004 ATP in Camber Sands. We have yet to see any of that footage, so maybe it's in this film?

why?

I'm definitely sold.

Wasn't it NBC 2006 that they gave out video cameras to some (pre-chosen) attendees to film the festival and everything that was going on from an audience point of view, for use in the movie? That was why I guessed that the SY footage was from that one.

If there is footage from 2006, I sincerely hope that The Dead C is included. That would make me very happy.


The other cool thing about the release of this movie is that, if I remember rightly, tapers who got "caught" were told not to put their recordings in the public domain until after the movie got released. So post-release, we may get to hear some more audience recordings. Including the aforesaid Dead C, maybe?

All Tomorrow's Parties Documentary On the Way
3/5/2009 By Brock Thiessen

After a decade-long run as one of the world’s most adventurous music festivals, All Tomorrow’s Parties is giving itself a pat on the back via a new film.

Courtesy of Warp’s digital film studio Warp X, the independently-minded UK festival has announced it’s releasing a new music doc simply dubbed All Tomorrow's Parties, which features an eclectic mix of performances from the likes of Sonic Youth, Belle and Sebastian, Portishead, Daniel Johnston, Iggy and the Stooges, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Grizzly Bear and the Boredoms.

Described as “a DIY concert film,” the movie has been pieced together from footage submitted by more than 200 filmmakers, fans and musicians, who have all caught bits of the festival’s recent history at the Camber Sands holiday camp via Super8, camcorder and even mobile phone. A few pros lent their more experienced lenses to the film, such a Jonathan Caouette (Tarnation) and Vincent Moon (The Take Away Shows, Arcade Fire), but by the sounds of it, All Tomorrow's Parties plays out much like the festival itself: as a hodgepodge of sights and sounds, or as Sonic Youth’s Thurston Moore once said, the “ultimate mixtape.”

While the North American release of the film is still being finalized, it is set to come out in the UK this summer, both on DVD and as a digital download. All Tomorrow's Parties is also scheduled to have its world premiere at this year’s SXSW, which has lined up a trio of screenings.

You can check out a teaser of the film below (or over here).

SXSW screening times:

3/14 Austin, TX – Alamo Lamar 2 (5:15 p.m.)
3/19 Austin, TX – Paramount (5:00 p.m.)
3/21 Austin, TX – Alamo Ritz (8:00 p.m.)

now that teaser looks deadly. I really want to see LB live again. one of the best live gigs I have ever witness.

i'm so excited!

Me too - and I just can't hide it! I'm about to lose control, and I think I like it!!!!

:D:rolleyes: :cool:
