SXSW 2024: Documentary on the Scottish band Mogwai to be premiered at the festival

Blazing Griffin, Adler Entertainment, Rock Action Records and Screen Scotland have released a new SXSW teaser trailer and the first teaser poster for "Mogwai: If The Stars Had A Sound", in the frame of its World Premiere at South by Southwest (SXSW). The new documentary about the Scottish band is directed by longtime collaborator Antony Crook, in association with Blazing Griffin, Adler Entertainment, Rock Action Records and Screen Scotland.

"Mogwai: If The Stars Had A Sound" is a feature documentary following the independent Scottish band from their inception to the present day. The documentary is produced by Kyrie MacTavish ("Super Special"), along with Naysun Alae-Carew for Blazing Griffin, Marco Colombo and Mattia Della Puppa for Adler Entertainment. The film is produced with funding from The National Lottery through Screen Scotland. The film is Executive Produced by Antony Crook, Ray Black, Mark Thomas, Lauren Lamarr and Orian Williams.

Over 25 years and 10 studio albums - using brute sonic force mixed with subtlety and grace - Mogwai have defined their own musical genre and built a loyal following by staying true to their sound and true to their roots. The film takes us on a journey from their very beginnings, in the mid 1990s, to the band writing and rehearsing their tenth studio album in their hometown of Glasgow, Scotland in 2020 - a record made during lockdown.
