The Microphones’ Phil Elverum announces new film, There’s No End

An intimate portrait of his home life.

Phil Elverum is the subject of a new documentary, called There’s No End.

Director Mattias Evangelista felt compelled to make the documentary aftering listening to Elverum’s A Crow Looked At Me album, created about the passing of his wife Geneviève Castrée.

Speaking about the doc, Elverum shares: “sometimes I make songs and albums of spilled guts deep reaching ideas and send them out to all the strangers in the world, but mostly I’ve tried to keep the real daily life private.”

“Now I find myself surprised to be revealing a beautifully filmed portrait version of this home life; the simple routines with my young daughter, the meandering ideas that burble out unformed. Our lived moments aren’t the art project, but a picture of our little world with its everyday light and shadows, the place where we actually live.”

“Coffee and oatmeal on a school morning, talking again about death and jokes and emptiness.”

There’s No End follows the release of Elverum’s The Microphones box set.
