Blazing Griffin, Adler Entertainment, Rock Action Records and Screen Scotland present MOGWAI: If The Stars Had A Sound, which will be screening at Raindance Film Festival on 21st June 2024.

MOGWAI: If The Stars Had A Sound is an intimate glimpse into the band’s Glasgow roots, creative process, and the impact its music has made on its fans. In addition to screening at Raindance, the film will have multiple screenings across the UK this June.

The documentary was filmed and directed by Antony Crook and produced by Kyrie MacTavish (Super Special, Anna and the Apocalypse), with funding from The National Lottery through Screen Scotland. 

The film takes us on a journey from their very beginnings, in the mid 1990s, to the band writing and rehearsing their tenth studio album in their hometown of Glasgow, Scotland in 2020 – a record made during lockdown. While at first seemingly impossible to make, they ultimately made history with it.

Mogwai are a Scottish rock and electronic band, formed in 1995 in Glasgow. The band consists of Stuart Braithwaite (guitar, vocals), Barry Burns (guitar, piano, synthesizer, vocals), Dominic Aitchison (bass guitar) and Martin Bulloch (drums). Former members include John Cummings (guitar, bass guitar, drums, keyboard) and Brendan O’Hare (keyboards, guitar).

Since 1997, the band have released ten studio albums, with 2021’s As The Love Continues being a commercial and critical success, amassing a Mercury Prize nomination and winning the Scottish Album of the Year award.

They have also released multiple EPs and contributed the score to projects for Amazon Prime and Apple TV+.
