Directed by 2013 Sundance Grand Jury Prize for Short Films winner Kahlil Joseph, "The Reflektor Tapes" is a fascinating insight into the making of Arcade Fire's critically acclaimed, international #1 album "Reflektor". The film recontextualizes the album experience, transporting the viewer into a kaleidoscopic sonic and visual landscape. It charts the band's creative journey as they lay foundations for the album in Jamaica, commence recording sessions in Montreal and play an impromptu gig at a Haitian hotel on the first night of Carnival, before bringing their breath-taking live show to packed arenas in Los Angeles and London.
With Arcade Fire granting previously unprecedented access to Joseph, "The Reflektor Tapes" fluidly blends in never before seen personal footage, including interviews, documentation of the recording process and moments captured by the band themselves, to dazzling effect.
In addition to showcasing music from "Reflektor" and other albums in Arcade Fire's storied back catalogue, "The Reflektor Tapes" will give viewers a chance to hear an unreleased track for the first time and features 20 minutes of exclusive unseen footage, filmed only for cinema audiences.
