In November 2010 Efterklang and Vincent Moon announced that they were working on a film together and that it would premiere in February 2011. In December we were told that Efterklang will bring An Island with them on their European tour February 21st to March 18th 2011.
Today Efterklang & Vincent Moon welcome all their listeners and followers to host their own premiere screenings of An Island. As of today people can sign up and the screenings will start February 1st and run until March 31st.
Vincent Moon & Efterklang call these screenings Private-Public Screenings and the rules are very simple.
• The screenings need to have free entrance
• The screenings need to be public.
• The screenings need to have a minimum capacity of 5 people
• The screenings need to be verified by Efterklang & Vincent Moon and only screenings that are featured onwww.anisland.cc are official Private Public Screenings
In other words as long as entrance is free and it is an open event (as capacity permits) the Private-Public Screenings can take place in your home, at a café, in a school auditorium or any place you can think of.
The Private-Public Screenings will run for two months - February and March 2011. The screenings are private because they are hosted by private people and public because the screenings are official and open - hence the name Private-Public Screenings. It should be mentioned however that if you plan to host a Private-Public Screening in your home then you have full control over who shows up.
We hope that a lot of people will host and attend screenings of An Island. The Private-Public Screenings are our attempt at creating a free and inspiring distribution method for our film. It is also our attempt to give something back to our many supporters around the world. We have financed this film ourselves and we hope that we can recoup some of that money through donations. However, the memory of the 4 days we spent on the island of Als in August 2010 and our joy and pride of the finished film is a huge reward in itself. - Vincent Moon & Efterklang
As of today it is possible to submit Private-Public Screenings. For more information about hosting your own screening of An Island please visit http://anisland.cc/home/

About An Island:
An Island is an unconventional music performance film and an abstract documentary about a band and an island. The running time is 50 minutes.
In August 2010, French filmmaker Vincent Moon and Efterklang's 8 piece-live band met up on an island off the Danish coast. The objective was to shoot a film. A film with the same length as an album, and a film full of performances, experiments and collaborations.
Over an intense period of 4 days Efterklang collaborated with more than 200 local musicians, kids and parents, creating new performances and interpretations of songs from their album Magic Chairs(4AD, 2010). It was all filmed by Vincent Moon who same time conducted several filmic and musical experiments with Efterklang as his dedicated playmates.

FTERKLANG: We value An Island as much as we value our albums. We are so proud to be part of this and can't wait for it to premier
Vincent Moon: An Island is not similar to any other film I have done with bands or artists. This is a collaboration on a deeper level. Im hoping this film can push the boundaries between images and sounds, resulting in a hybrid, a film in between genres.
