Avicii documentary to be screened in Birmingham

Avicii: True Stories traces the unvarnished truth behind the success of Grammy-nominated producer, songwriter and artist Tim Bergling, better known as Avicii– one of the world’s highest grossing live music artists whose seemingly sudden decision last year to quit doing live shows came as a complete chock to his fans and the industry.

The film reveals the choices he faced and his thoughts at the time.

The showings of Avicii: True Stories will be followed by a 30 minute concert film of Avicii’s final show in Ibiza in 2016.

The film traces the artist’s life from his beginnings, all the way to the joy of his success, from his chart-topping global radio hits and subsequent struggles with his physical and mental health.

Tsikurishvili followed Bergling for over four years, and captured fly-on-the-wall footage of his experiences and thinking.

Featuring appearances by colleagues such as Chris Martin, Nile Rodgers, David Guetta and Wyclef Jean, Avicii: True Stories is a cautionary tale that explores the taxing nature and intensity of fame from the artist's point of view as much as it is a film for Avicii’s die-hard fans.

Levan says: "I wanted to do a brutally honest film about Tim as a person and not only about Avicii.

"Everybody knows Avicii but very few people know Tim. I think this documentary really shows Tim’s struggle and strength of character.

"Being a worldwide superstar artist is not as easy as it looks on Instagram”

Avicii: True Stories will be screened worldwide on October 26, with a screening at Vue Cinema Birmingham at 8.00pm.
