All Tomorrow's Parties Hits Facets! One Night Only!



Facets, Pitchfork and Warp Films are proud to present All Tomorrow's Parties at Facets Cinémathèque on Friday, Nov. 20 at 11:30pm!

Co-directed by Jonathan Caouette (Tarnation), the film is a kaleidoscopic journey into the parallel musical universe of the All Tomorrow's Parties music festival, as well as an ingenious testament to alternative music, communal living, and iconoclastic creativity, featuring performance footage of 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, The Boredoms and more!

Founded by Belle & Sebastian's Barry Hogan in 1999 as an alternative to larger, more corporate festivals, ATP is a sponsorship-free festival where the organizers, artists, and fans all stay in the same chalet-style housing complex. Every year the event is curated by a specific artist or band, essentially making each festival a concert as ultimate mix tape.

The film captures this energy via Super8, camcorder and mobile phone footage contributed by over two hundred filmmakers, fans and musicians over the festival's recent history, with key contributions Caouette and cinematographer Vincent Moon (The Take Away Shows), creating a semi-found bricolage. A truly immersive experience, All Tomorrow's Parties captures the experience from the perspective of fan, artist, and curator alike, celebrating the uncompromising vitality of this unique festival experience.
