Broken Social Scene have announced the new documentary It’s All Gonna Break directed by Stephen Chung. Drawing its title from the closing track on their self-titled album, the film documents the early years of the Canadian indie rock stalwarts as well as the creation of their first three albums: 2001’s Feel Good Lost, 2002’s You Forgot It in People, and 2005’s Broken Social Scene. It’s currently slated to premiere on October 16 at Woodstock Film Festival. Watch a trailer for the documentary below.
It’s All Gonna Break promises behind-the-scenes videos, intimate clips from personal archives, footage from live concerts, and interviews with every member of the band’s famously sprawling lineup, including Feist, Emily Haines, Amy Millan, and dozens more. According to a press release, Chung originally planned on creating a film about Broken Social Scene back in 2007, but the band turned down the rough cut that he showed them at the time.
Broken Social Scene’s most recent full-length album, Hug of Thunder, came out in 2017. They followed it up with 2019’s Let’s Try the After Vol. 1 EP and Vol. 2 EP, as well as Old Dead Young: B-Sides & Rarities in 2022.
