Arcade Fire Working With Kendrick Lamar/Flying Lotus Director Kahlil Joseph on Film Project

Arcade Fire are working on a project with director Kahlil Joseph, who has previously worked with Flying Lotus and Kendrick Lamar. Joseph reportedly screened a raw edit for students at the California Institute of the Arts, as Arcade Fire Tube points out. According to Arcade Fire Tube, Joseph said that even the band hadn’t seen the footage.

A Tweet from a CalArts professor seems to confirm that Joseph did screen the film at the school.

A clip of a live version of “Afterlife” (from last year’s Reflektor) credited to Joseph appears on the website for Lux Artists, a company that represents filmmakers. You can watch that below. (That’s a still, above.) It’s different from the official video for “Afterlife”, which was directed by Emily Kai Bock and released last year, as well as the YouTube Awards video starring Greta Gerwig and directed by Spike Jonze.

Lux Artists represents Lol Crawley, a director of photography. Crawley’s resume lists a project called Arcade Fire: Reflektor Tapes directed by Joseph. Update: While Crawley shot part of the Reflektor Tapes film, Autumn Durald was the director of photography on the project and shot the video below.
