Efterklang: The Ghost of Piramida screening in Riga
On the 6th of March we are screening the very special documentary “Efterklang: The Ghost of Piramida” in Kaņepes kultūras centrs, Riga.
In The Ghost Of Piramida director Andreas Koefoed follows the Danish band Efterklang (now Liima) on their 9 day audio expedition to the ghost town Piramida on Spitsbergen, located just a thousand kilometers from the North Pole and home to more polar bears than people.
Accompanied by their taciturn and indifferent Russian polar bear guard, the group goes on an audio treasure hunt in the empty buildings of the abandoned town, while the narrator, former Piramida citizen Alexander, takes us back to a bygone era, when Piramida flourished and the immigrant Russian miners and their families lived in a Soviet parallel society far from the brutal reality of their homeland.
The music in the film incorporates some of the early sketches, as well as finished songs from the album Piramida (2012).
All audience members will take part in a 2xticket draw to a Liima (Efterklang + Tatu Rönkkö) concert on 8th March 2018.
