Soulwax

Part Of The Weekend Never Dies is a documentary on the touring entity that for the past three years has seen Soulwax programming and promoting, DJ’ing and playing live every night with a revolving array of their friends and some of the most exciting artists today, travelling relentlessly around the world under the ‘Radio Soulwax’ banner.

Recorded during 120 shows using one camera across Europe, Japan, the US, Latin America and Australia acclaimed director Saam Farahmand and Soulwax co-directed the 2 films: ‘Part Of The Weekend Never Dies’ - a documentary that captures the excess, cynicism, delusion, ridiculousness, contradiction, exhaustion and humour of the life of DJs and bands on the road. The documentary includes live footage of 2manydj’s and Soulwax Nite Versions, and also includes James Murphy, Nancy Whang, Erol Alkan, Tiga, Justice, Busy P, So-Me, Peaches, Kitsuné & Klaxons amongst others in behind the scenes footage and interviews. The second, live film captures perfectly the blissful & beautiful sonic malevolence of Soulwax’s Nite Versions blitzkrieg. Saam has made acclaimed promo videos for the likes of Janet Jackson, Hercules & Love Affair, Late of the Pier and Lightspeed Champion and last year collaborated with Klaxons on four videos, winning the ‘CAD music week award’ for Best Director along the way and is one of the UK’s most innovative young film makers.
