A 90-year-old's first encounter with post rock

Two stories in one. One of them is about 90-year-old Adelie, who has never been to a real concert. The other is about the frontman of the band Mogwai, who has played in quite a few concerts. We follow the Scottish guitarist and singer Stuart Braithwaite to Italy, where the band is meant to play a festival gig. Braithwaite reflects upon the DIY ethic that has shaped his life as a Glasgow musician - and upon having to talk about it. The underlying story behind the band's latest album 'The Hawk is Howling' is quite simple and not really that exciting, according to him: "5 people who like each other get together to make 10 good songs." Mogwai's post-rock and instrumental processes are consistently allowed to guide the film, and the images consist of warm, colourful visuals from Italy. At the same time, Adelie is getting ready. Her grandchild is the festival's main organiser and he has invited Adelie to attend a real live concert. A small, double-sided portrait that sinks right in, and yet another un-canonised film by Vincent Moon.

The Scottish band Mogwai performs an incandescent show in front of a stunned crowd. As if time stood still, the audience is transported along by musical waves, both poetic and violent. 'Burning' dives into this wild sensual flow. Directors Vincent Moon and Nathanaël Le Scouarnec guide us into a dream where there is no tomorrow. This is a black and white experience of the senses carved by the raw emotion of this pioneering band that doesn't need any words to touch the heart of its listeners. Layered and innovative, the movie has its finger firmly on their pulse, a sonic adventure between hope and rebellion. A lifetime of feelings in just one night.

After the screening 13.11. in DOX:CLUB will Mogwai's Stuart Braithwaite play a DJ set to celebrate the official world premiere of the new film.
