Pendarvia

NR 2011 · 30 min · ★ 8.0 · Documentary, Music

Pendarvia is a 30 minute film that documents the recording process of The Decemberists album "The King Is Dead" (Capitol, 2011). The album was recorded in a barn in rural Oregon. Pendarvia is heavily driven by the natural surroundings of the area, inter-cutting music with beautiful shots of the surrounding scenery. The film follows the abstractly linear narrative of the recording process, inter-cutting found moments of dialogue from the band, producer Tucker Martine, collaborators and friends. The film is a beautiful audio/visual collage that explores the trials and tribulations of the creative process.

"I guess you could say that Dysfunctional is the first film I ever completed. I had done lots of experiments before this, but I never seemed to be able to finish anything. This one really is more of a collage than a film. I did shoot alot of the footage in it, but the overall majority of this is just clips of skateboarding films and news footage that I cut together with my friend Antek." - Aaron Rose
