All Tomorrows Parties The Film



All Tomorrows Parties The Film is a film about a alternative music festival called all tomorrows parties that happens at Butlins in the UK and at a similar holiday park in America. The music festival was started by Scottish band Belle and Sebastian and whats interesting is that each year a specific band or person is chosen to curate the whole festival, choosing a line up of artists that have they respect or have influenced them. In 2009 Jonathan Caouette directed a film about the festival. The film is basically a collage of video and sound, There are clips from a lot of different sources including archive footage and footage sent to him by bands and people attending the festival. I think the whole film just flows perfectly and is sometimes very surreal.
