On Friday I went to see the lovely Efterklang in Manchester and it was such a beautiful evening that I had to write about it. This won’t be a concert review though. I rather want to recommend a film to you that Efterklang did together with filmmaker Vincent Moon. The movie is called “An Island” and was shown on Friday before the gig, instead of a support act.

It is quite a stunning and beautifully shot movie and especially the scene in the teaser you can watch below gave me goosebumps for at least 5 minutes.

I then found out yesterday that the same movie is getting screened all over the world at the moment and that everyone can screen it as long as he/she gets at least five people together and lets them watch it for free. I think this is such a great idea that I had to recommend it. Of course you can still go to one of the Efterklang gigs as they are still touring but if not please go to this website and check whether there’s a screening near you.

Because of the website I found out yesterday that there was another screening in Manchester last night, so I went down there to watch it again. They also showed a little road documentary that was really quite cute.

I think I might be a little obsessed with them right now. They seem like such a nice bunch of people with a lot of love for what they do. So please go and watch or go and listen. Either way, you will enjoy it. I promise.
