Daft Punk’s iconic Electroma is getting the 4K treatment for its 20th anniversary, set to premiere at the Tribeca Festival on June 8th. Following the screening, Bangalter and co-writer/editor Cédric Hervet will participate in a live conversation to discuss the film’s legacy.
The science fiction film was directed by Daft Punk (Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo).
Electroma originally premiered at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival, having evolved from what was initially intended to be a music video for the track “Human After All” into a full-length feature. The project follows two robots (played by the duo) on a journey through the American Southwest in a desperate quest to become human. While the film has been available to the public over the years via limited DVD releases and various streaming platforms, this Tribeca screening marks the first time audiences can experience the cult classic through a high-fidelity 4K restoration.
Tickets for the screening are SOLD-OUT, but keep an eye on the Tribeca Film Festival website incase some tickets become available!
