Mogwai documentary to premiere at SXSW 2024

If The Stars Had A Sound was filmed and directed by Antony Crook.

A new documentary charting the history of Scottish post-rock titans Mogwai has been announced to premiere at this year’s forthcoming edition of SXSW.

If The Stars Had A Sound was filmed and directed by longtime Mogwai collaborator Antony Crook and is said to span archival material from the band’s beginnings in the mid-1990s to footage chronicling the creation of 2021’s As The Love Continues.

Mogwai’s Stuart Braithwaite states of the forthcoming project within press materials

“We’re incredibly excited for people to see Antony’s film If the Stars Had a Sound. It originally started as a short film around leaving Scotland to record in upstate New York in early 2020 but when the pandemic happened that all changed. Both ourselves and Antony persevered with the record and the film throughout the pandemic with the film growing throughout. Antony’s film tells the story of how we all came out the other side. I think he’s made something truly special.”
