The documentary film ‹Everything, Everywhere, All The Time› follows Sam Amidon, Ben Frost, Nico Muhly and Valgeir Sigurðsson on their joint tour, but also presents their individual compositions released through their collective, «Banddach». The director Pierre-Alain Giraud uses a combination of rare footage from the Greenhouse Studios in Iceland, backstage shots and tour bus stories, as well as volcanic disturbances and interviews.

‹Everything, Everywhere, All The Time› investigates the dynamic between these four highly individual, yet closely linked, artists, and offers a unique insight into the inner workings of an artistically shaped label and band collective. The documentary premiered at the International Film Festival Reykjavík.
