Directed by: All Tomorrow's People and Jonathan Caouette
Friday, November 20 - Saturday, November 21, 2009
ALL TOMORROW’S PARTIES is a kaleidoscopic journey into the parallel musical universe of the cult music festival of the same name. It’s a DIY concert film featuring performances from a host of alt artists, including Battles, Sonic Youth, Belle And Sebastian, Patti Smith, Animal Collective, 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 contributed by over two hundred filmmakers, fans and musicians over the festival’s recent history, with key contributions from co-director Jonathan Caouette (Tarnation) and cinematographer Vincent Moon (The Take Away Shows, Arcade Fire).

“Critic’s pick! Part concert film, part rebel manifesto, this toe-tapping document covers several years in the life of a marvelous off-season music festival.” – F.X. Feeney, LA Weekly
