The CHEMICAL BROTHERS ‘DON'T THINK’ MOVIE
ONE NIGHT ONLY – FRIDAY FEBRUARY 3RD

For nearly two decades, the Chemical Brothers “mind-bending” audiovisual live show has played to packed houses and festivals across the globe. But it has never been documented on film.

Until now.

On 3rd February 2012, audiences across Australia will have the chance to experience this exciting worldwide cinematic event. Don’t Think will show for one night only on the big screen at select Event, Greater Union and Birch Carroll & Coyle cinemas.

Filmed with 20 cameras at a headline show at Japan’s Fujirock Festival, this Chemical Brothers’ live experience has been mixed for the big screen by the band themselves. Directed by long-term visuals collaborator Adam Smith this full-length concert movie places cameras in the centre of the stage as well as at the very heart of the crowd to perfectly capture a fan's eye view of the heightened emotional reactions of the audience seeing the band at their very best.

During the film, Smith takes advantage of one of the most unique festival settings in the world when he follows selected audience members away from the stage and out into the natural environment. Then, by adding avant-garde magic realist moments where trippy visuals leave the screens and invade the open spaces of the festival, Don't Think undergoes a transformation from concert film to fully immersive document of one of the most mind-bendingly psychedelic live shows ever seen.

Tickets on sale now at www.eventcinemas.com.au
or at the box office.

Quotes from the Director and The Chemical Brothers:

Adam Smith: “After 18 years of working on The Chemical Brothers live show we have finally captured it on film; you could almost say it's 18 years in the making The aim was to create a different type of concert film for a different type of show. I wanted to capture what it is like to experience the show from right in the middle of the crowd as well as showing and combining the visuals featured in the show with the footage we captured on this one night; to see how the music and visuals emotionally affect and connect with the audience. By using small unobtrusive cameras - and with thanks to the kindness of the amazing Japanese crowd - we were given privileged insights into the private moments of joy, fear and ecstatic escapism from reality that this show induces. Included in that are flights of fantasy around the festival that are going on inside an audience member’s head. We also allowed some of the images from the show to head off the screens and invade the festival. Over the course of the film, we are taken on a journey through the psychedelic trip that is the Chemical Brothers live experience.”

Tom Rowlands (Chemical Brothers): “In the recording of a single show - a single night on a Japanese mountainside - Adam Smith, our long time collaborator, has managed to capture the atmosphere of a very special festival appearance.  Come see how it feels to feel, be overwhelmed, intoxicated, swoonerated…  Surrender to the void”

Ed Simons (Chemical Brothers): “This film is the closest I will ever get to being at a Chemical Brothers show…  and yeah, it's a beautiful experience.”
