Broken Social Scene to release new documentary, It's All Gonna Break
The Toronto rock band's rise to fame will be covered in the film, which premieres Oct. 16
Broken Social Scene has announced the release of a new documentary, It's All Gonna Break, about how the Toronto rock supergroup came to be.
Directed by Stephen Chung, the film includes archival footage of the band's beginnings as well as a behind-the-scenes look at the recording of albums such as the critically acclaimed 2002 record, You Forgot It in People.
The press release for the movie states: "With You Forgot It in People's release and subsequent explosion on a global scale, Broken Social Scene started a movement without setting out to, putting a massive spotlight on their hometown — Toronto — a city whose musical output had slowed during the late 90s."
New interviews with Feist, Kevin Drew, Emily Haines and other members are featured in the film, with the artists talking about their involvement in the band.
"Those early jams, I remember feeling like the storm was gathering," Feist said in an interview clip in the film's trailer.
The trailer also reveals that Chung created a rough cut of the film in 2007 that originally was never supposed to "see the light of day," but more than 20 years later, the band signed off.
The press release also explains that Chung's film will show "the reality of a group of young creatives navigating friendships, relationships, business and art, then learning how to deal with success."
The movie is set to premiere Oct. 16 at the Woodstock Film Festival.
