Avicii – I'm Tim is a 2024 documentary about the life of Swedish DJ Avicii. The film premiered at the Tribeca Festival on June 9, 2024. [1] The film is directed by Swedish director Henrik Burman, and produced by Björn Tjärnberg. The film will feature interviews from Chris Martin, Nile Rodgers and David Guetta among others.[2]

Plot

The former movie description from Tribeca Festival reads: "Before there was Avicii, there was just Tim. For the first time through his own words, witness the journey of a shy but prodigious musical talent who would soon become one of the defining artists of his generation".[3]

According to Billboard, the movie will include "never-before-seen archive footage and interviews with Bergling himself". It will also feature "newly produced material, with interviews with Bergling's family, friends and colleagues".[4]

Release

The documentary was originally announced by the Avicii estate in September 2021, with a 2023 release date. The movie began production in 2019. Director Henrik Burman said about the film: "My goal is to provide an honest and new perspective on both the artist Avicii and Tim's life. I want this to be a film that surprises the audience and challenges the public's image of Sweden's biggest international artist of today and, in doing so, also shine a light on what his music has meant to so many people."[5]

The new release date was announced on Avicii's Instagram profile in April 2024.[6] The wider release is yet to be confirmed.
