Avicii – I'm Tim is an upcoming documentary about the life of Swedish DJ Avicii. The film is set to premiere at the Tribeca Festival on June 9, 2024. [1] The film is directed by Swedish director Henrik Burman, and produced by Björn Tjärnberg. The film will feature interviews from Chris Martin, Nile Rodgers and David Guetta among others.[2]
Plot[edit]
The former movie description from Tribeca Festival reads: "Before there was Avicii, there was just Tim. For the first time through his own words, witness the journey of a shy but prodigious musical talent who would soon become one of the defining artists of his generation".[3]
The current description by Casey Baron reads: "In 2011, Avicii took the world by storm with his groundbreaking hits, setting records and captivating audiences with his infectious electronic dance music. Tim Bergling’s unlikely story is handled with passion and understanding in this film directed by 2020 Tribeca alum Henrik Burman (Yung Lean: In My Head), diving deep into Avicii's meteoric rise to fame. Through never-before-seen tour footage and behind-the-scenes glimpses of his creative process, viewers are immersed in the high-energy world of EDM and the massive concerts that became synonymous with Avicii's name.
The film honors his brilliant and peaceful nature, highlighting the impact of his innovative music that blended genres and pushed boundaries. While fans and family still mourn his passing, Avicii's legacy lives on through his irreducible imprint on the industry and music lovers worldwide. Interviews with fellow artists, friends, and family, along with narration provided by Tim's own voice, add an extraordinary layer to the film as we get to know the man behind the music."
According to Billboard, the movie will include "never-before-seen archive footage and interviews with Bergling himself". It will also feature "newly produced material, with interviews with Bergling's family, friends and colleagues".[4]
Release[edit]
The documentary was originally announced by the Avicii estate in September 2021, with a 2023 release date. The movie began production in 2019. Director Henrik Burman said about the film: "My goal is to provide an honest and new perspective on both the artist Avicii and Tim's life. I want this to be a film that surprises the audience and challenges the public's image of Sweden's biggest international artist of today and, in doing so, also shine a light on what his music has meant to so many people."[5]
The new release date was announced on Avicii's Instagram profile in April 2024.[6] The wider release is yet to be confirmed.
