Watch the Dark, Twisted Sónar Festival Film for 2014

From June 12 to June 14, the Catalan capital of Barcelona will play host to Sónar, the International Festival of Advanced Music and New Media Art. Created in 1994, Sónar is a pioneering festival with a reputation for carefully balanced programming, a playful attitude, and an openness to experimentation at the fringes of dance music. The festival is a global tasemaker, and its organizers are firmly on the pulse of the current electronic music landscape

This year's edition will include performances and DJ sets from artists like Massive Attack, Richie Hawtin, Chic feat. Nile Rodgers, Röysopp & Robyn, Rudimental, Caribou, Woodkid, Lykke Li, Boys Noize, Four Tet, Pretty Things, Moderat, and many other artists.

Today we have the exclusive premiere of Ancha es Castilla / N'importe Quoi, the 25-minutes film preview of Sónar 2014, directed by Sergio Caballero, co-director of the festival and mastermind since it started 21 years ago. Caballero's promotional films have become one of the main attractions of the festival, and they tend to shy away from the usual dance music motifs, embracing dark humor, transgression, and the absurd.

This year's film is a cheeky horror story about a little girl possessed by the devil, and her subsequent exorcism. Sergio defines it as a mixture between Jaws, God Save the Queen, and The Exorcist. If they were done in horrifying claymation and papier-mâché. Yikes.
