*********************************************************************
No matter how loud you sing or chant, “One More Time” this vibrantly restored and remastered in 4K screening of Daft Punk & Leiji Matsumoto’s, epically, wicked, INTERSTELLA 5555: THE 5STORY OF THE 5ECRET 5STAR 5YSTEM, happens ONE NIGHT ONLY on December 13 at the Rio Theatre.
*********************************************************************
“We’re excited to bring Daft Punk’s iconic ‘Interstella 5555,’ now fully remastered in stunning 4K, to cinemas for a global event,” Trafalgar Releasing CEO Marc Allenby said in a statement. “This is a rare opportunity to experience the film on the big screen, along with accompanying Daft Punk music videos, and we can’t wait to share it with audiences everywhere.”
INTERSTELLA 5555: THE 5STORY OF THE 5ECRET 5STAR 5YSTEM was created by Daft Punk and Cédric Hervet in collaboration with Leiji Matsumoto and Toei Animation, and tells the story of the abduction of an alien music band by an evil human character who has dark plans. Essentially an anime visual album, Interstella features the entirety of Daft Punk’s seminal 2001 album Discovery as its soundtrack, including iconic anthems such as “One More Time,” “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger,” and “Veridis Quo.” Says Shinji Shimizu of Toei Animation, who produced the film, “‘One More Time’ was playing all over the town at that time! I felt so proud that I wanted to shout to people on the street, ‘We are making its animation now!’” As a visual album, the film was cut into individual music videos, and until this year it has been very rare to see the film in its entirety in cinemas.
“… a visual and aural treat of intergalactic proportions.” (BBC)

INTERSTELLA 5555: THE 5STORY OF THE 5ECRET 5STAR 5YSTEM (Leigi Matsumoto, 2003 / 66 mins / PG) Four talented alien musicians are kidnapped by a record producer who disguises them as humans. Shep, a space pilot in love with bass player Stella, follows them to Earth. Reprogrammed to forget their real identities and renamed The Crescendolls, the group quickly becomes a huge success playing soulless corporate pop. At a concert, Shep manages to free all the musicians except Stella, and the band sets out to rediscover who they really are — and to rescue Stella.
