Vincent Moon + Efterklang invite you to host a film screening 12 Jan 2011

Vincent Moon & Efterklang unveil plans for Private-Public Screenings of AN ISLAND

Late last year the Nordic Music Prize nominated Danish band Efterklang and renowned French filmmaker Vincent Moon announced their film project AN ISLAND, a unique musical collaboration. The film will be aired before the majority of the Efterklang live shows on their forthcoming European tour (February 17th - March 18th).
 
However Efterklang and Vincent Moon are also inviting people to host their own screenings of AN ISLAND throughout February and March. Dubbed Private-Public Screenings, the rules are very simple. In order to host a screening, each event must adhere to the following:
 
•    The screenings need to have free entrance
•    The screenings need to be public
•    The screenings need to have a minimum capacity of 5 people
•    The screenings need to be verified by Efterklang & Vincent Moon and only screenings that are featured on www.anisland.cc are official Private-Public Screenings
 
In other words as long as entrance is free and it is an open event (as capacity permits) the Private-Public Screenings can take place at a home, at a café, in a school auditorium - basically, anywhere. Those planning to host screenings in their own homes will be able to have full control over who can attend.
 
From today Efterklang and Vincent Moon will be accepting
Private-Public Screening applications of AN ISLAND.

We hope that a lot of people will host and attend screenings of AN ISLAND. The Private-Public Screenings are our attempt at creating a free and inspiring distribution method for our film. It is also our attempt to give something back to our many supporters around the world. We have financed this film ourselves and we hope that we can recoup some of that money through donations. However, the memory of the 4 days we spent on the island of Als in August 2010 and our joy and pride of the finished film is a huge reward in itself.
- Vincent Moon & Efterklang
 
The third teaser trailer for AN ISLAND also just aired. It can now be seen at www.anisland.cc

About AN ISLAND

AN ISLAND is an unconventional music performance film and an abstract documentary about a band and an island.
 
In August 2010, French filmmaker Vincent Moon and Efterklang's 8 piece-live band met up on an island off the Danish coast. The objective was to shoot a film that was the same length as an album, and full of performances, experiments and collaborations.
 
Over an intense period of four days Efterklang collaborated with more than 200 local musicians, kids and parents, creating new performances and interpretations of songs from their album Magic Chairs (4AD, 2010). It was documented by Vincent Moon who also conducted several filmic and musical experiments with Efterklang as his dedicated playmates.
 
Efterklang: "We value An Island as much as we value our albums. We are so proud to be part of this and can't wait for it to premiere."

Vincent Moon: "An Island is not similar to any other film I have done with bands or artists. This is a collaboration on a deeper level. I’m hoping this film can push the boundaries between images and sounds, resulting in a hybrid, a film in between genres."
