Synopsis

In an out-of-season holiday camp on the coast of England, alternative music festival All Tomorrow’s Parties serves up a heady combination of alternative music, crazy golf and chalet-living; all curator by a single band or artist. This post-punk bricolage uses material generated by the fans and musicians themselves, on a multitude of formats and over the history of ATP, to capture the uncompromising spirit of a parallel music universe. —mostra.org

I've blogged about it in its entirety here: http://niklasblog.com/?p=5074 It’s directed by Jonathan Caouette and the festival-goers, most of which contributed film and stills when ATP asked for it, mostly for this documentary. It’s notably also shot by Vincent Moon, who’s done a lot of Take Away Shows, where he’s filmed quasi-famous bands performing their songs (mostly acoustic sets) on the streets.
