Festivals - SXSW 2021 : Alone together, a new music documentary on Charli XCX

By Mulder, 04 march 2021

Alone together will be shown on the closing night of the SXSW festival.

This music documentary follows singer/songwriter Charli XCX as she records a new album during the COVID 19 crisis. Through the five weeks spent making the record, the documentary shows all the raw emotions that creating and connecting during quarantine evokes for people across the globe, including Charli and her die-hard fans.

Making its World Premiere on Saturday March 20th, the festival headliner from the London and LA based duo Bradley&Pablo takes a look at the young artist’s whirlwind creative journey as she turns to her fans around the world to collaborate into the making of her album how i’m feeling now. Directors Bradley Bell and Pablo Jones Soler have directed music videos for Harry Styles, Lil Nas X, Juice WRLD, Nicki Minaj, Cardi B, Dua Lipa, Kanye West, and Frank Ocean and are making their feature film debut with Alone Together.

Synopsis:
Charli XCX, a global pop phenomenon, was riding high when she had just finished an electric headline global tour. But despite her career success, she was personally unfulfilled, anxious, and her long-term relationship was on the brink. Everything changed when the COVID-19 pandemic turned her world upside down. Lost in the early days of quarantine, Charli turned to music after announcing she would attempt to make an album at home in 5 weeks. The unique creative boundaries take Charli on a creative and emotional journey like no other when she is forced to confront her relationship with work, rekindle her relationship with her boyfriend and connect with vulnerable LGBTQ+ fans in need.
