Electronic Music on Film at ACMI
Find yourself with Daft Punk in Paris’s electronic music scene in the early '90s.
Overview
Take a trip through the history of house music at ACMI this July, with the exclusive Melbourne season of Mia Hansen-Løve’s Eden.
Screening at the Fed Square cinema from June 29 until July 17, the critically acclaimed drama follows the rise and fall of a young DJ named Paul (Félix de Givry) who finds himself at the forefront of Paris’ electronic music scene in the early 1990s — an era that gave rise to a whole new generation of artists including French house heavyweights Daft Punk.
Running in conjunction with the three-week season are two additional films with a Daft Punk connection. Directed by Kazuhisa Takenouchi, Interstella 5555 is an anime adaptation of the band's iconic album Discovery, and tells the story of an alien rock band who are kidnapped by a malevolent record producer. Even stranger is Daft Punk's Electroma, a surreal sci-fi road movie directed by the duo themselves, about two silent robots in the wilderness of the Californian desert.
