The Generational anime film Interstella 5555 by Daft Punk is returning in a 4K premiere at the 2024 Tribeca Festival, a great headline for the fans given that its original version is rarely shown in theaters.
Daft Punk‘s iconic film, Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem, remastered in 4K, will debut in North America at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City this June. Fans around the world (no pun intended) can experience this legendary anime film like never before on the big screen.
Released in May 2003 as a stunning and unique visual companion to Discovery, the duo’s sophomore album, Interstella 5555 was brought to life by Thomas Bangalter, Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, and Cédric Hervet on the writing, directed by Kazuhisa Takenouchi, and supervised by the legendary Leiji Matsumoto. The movie tells a story about four talented alien musicians kidnapped by a record producer who disguises them as humans, followed by a rescue operation led by their pilot Shep. Daft Punk set a new standard for audiovisual storytelling, transcending the boundaries of music videos and creating a captivating sci-fi saga.
After their split up back in 2021, after an amazing 28-year-long career, this exciting announcement is a treat for the fans, especially since the rumors about their fifth album don’t seem to be spot on. The film had never been fully released and was rarely seen in cinemas, which makes the perfect time to revisit classics like ‘One More Time‘, ‘Digital Love‘, and ‘Veridis Quo‘.
