A DAFT PUNK DOUBLE BILL - INTERSTELLA 5555 & ELECTROMA

Event information

Getting dangerously close to Daft Punk saturation point? Want to push yourself over the edge? For its very first outing, Sonic Celluloid will be immersing itself in the Daft Arts to present you a double-bill of films created by the Gallic disco robotniks.

Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem (2003)
This intergalactic Japanese anime is soundtracked to DP’s 2001 smash album Discovery. It tells the tale of a chartbusting pop group that’s kidnapped during concert by an evil corporation, then brainwashed and made to record soulless pop music for the masses. Somewhere between Saturday morning classic, Jem and the Holograms and music industry send-up, The Saddest Music in the World.

Electroma (2006)
A robot road movie set in the Californian desert, Daft Punk’s directorial debut is a poetic, surreal, visual spectacular telling the story of two aliens who fall to earth on a quest for human identities. With a soundtrack including Brian Eno, Todd Rundgren, Curtis Mayfield, Sebastien Tellier and stunning special effects from makeup maverick Tony Gardiner, Electroma is a modern cult classic that will alter your consciousness and has to be experienced on the big screen.

After the films, DJs will be spinning the sounds that inspired Daft Punk into the early hours.
