Daft Punk’s Electroma Screening on PitchforkTV
by Chad Jordan, December 11, 2008
Daft Punk’s Electroma is a cult classic film directed by the legendary French Electronic duo. The plot revolves around two robots trek across the American landscape and their quest to become more human. The film is engulfed in the groups signature synthesizer stabs and bleeps as it’s soundtrack and score backdrop. If you have yet to see the film you’re not alone. The movie never formally debuted on screens, only enjoying a few festival and tour screenings as well as a DVD and Blu Ray distribution. However, this Friday you can view the film for free for one night only by setting your web browser to PitchforkTV. The movie will be shown on the site on Friday, December 12th 8 p.m. EST and concludes precisely 24 hours later, aka 8 p.m. on Saturday, December 13th. Check out the original trailer to the film above and be sure to catch the screening tomorrow.

They do use a Brian Eno track in the film, amongst others, but none of their own music. Strange film. I want that car they’re driving (and the HUMAN plates, too).

Uh, nope. Daft Punk didn’t use any of their own music for this film if I remember correctly. Someone correct me if I’m wrong. And, I LOOOOVE Daft Punk, but I wanted to pluck my eyelashes out after realizing I wasted 70 minutes of my life watching it.
