Scott Walker: 30 Century Man<\/em><\/a> is a long-overdue look at one of the most influential and enigmatic figures in rock history. The film will explore his music and career, from his early days as a jobbing bass player on the Sunset Strip, to mega-stardom in Britain’s swinging 60s pop scene as lead singer of The Walker Brothers, to his evolution into one of the most astonishing soundmakers of the last few decades.<\/p>\n

He’s 63 years old and has just released his first album in over 10 years, The Drift<\/em><\/a> on 4 AD Records. The film features exclusive behind-the-scenes footage of the making of the album as well as interviews with friends, collaborators, and fans including, among others:<\/p>\n

David Bowie<\/strong>, Radiohead<\/strong>, Jarvis Cocker<\/strong> (Pulp<\/strong>), Brian Eno<\/strong>, Damon Albarn<\/strong> (Blur<\/strong>, Gorillaz<\/strong>), Neil Hannon<\/strong> (The Divine Comedy<\/strong>), Marc Almond<\/strong>, Alison Goldfrapp<\/strong>, Sting<\/strong>, Dot Allison<\/strong>, Simon Raymonde<\/strong> (Cocteau Twins<\/strong>), Richard Hawley<\/strong>, Rob Ellis<\/strong>, Johnny Marr<\/strong>, Gavin Friday<\/strong>, Lulu<\/strong>, Peter Olliff<\/strong>, Angela Morley<\/strong>, Ute Lemper<\/strong>, Ed Bicknell<\/strong>, Evan Parker<\/strong>, Benjamin Biolay<\/strong>, Hector Zazou<\/strong>, Mo Foster<\/strong>, Phil Sheppard<\/strong>, Pete Walsh<\/strong>, and more.<\/p>\n

Directed by Stephen Kijak, who brought you the delightfully deranged documentary CINEMANIA<\/em> (a profile of 5 of NYC’s most manic film buffs), this is a different form of obsession altogether. Inspiring god-like devotion from fans, Scott Walker’s has a cult that has grown considerably since his 1995 release Tilt<\/em>, a dark and difficult masterwork. His new album takes that sound further than anyone could have imagined?<\/p>\n

Collaborators include acclaimed DP\/Director Grant Gee (Radiohead: Meeting People is Easy<\/em>) and Graham Wood, formerly of legendary design collective Tomato.<\/p>\n

Produced by Mia Bays, Liz Rose and Stephen Kijak<\/p>\n

Associate Producer: Gale Harold<\/p>\n

Executive Producer: David Bowie<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

On release in the UK from April 27th. Details here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
