Quattro brani. Due ore e mezza di concerto. L’esplorazione definitiva del loro suono monumentale. Il 28 novembre 2025, a Berlino, gli Swans hanno chiuso il tour di Birthing e una delle stagioni più radicali della loro storia: quella del Big Sound.

Questi sono gli Swans portati al limite ultimo.
Per la prima volta sul grande schermo.

Diretto da Marco Porsia e Peter Harton, “Swans Live Berlin” arriva al #CinemaTroisi lunedì 26 ottobre alle 20:30, introdotto dal regista Marco Porsia insieme al musicista Teho Teardo.

Un documentario che cattura tutta la potenza live della band di Michael Gira e testimonia la fine di un’intera epoca dell’ascolto, capace di influenzare generazioni e ridefinire i confini della musica contemporanea. E poi l’istantanea di una performance terminale ed estrema: un’esperienza sonora immersiva in cui, come in un assalto fisico e mentale, il rumore diventa materia, gli strumenti e la voce si espandono all’inverosimile, lo spettacolo dal vivo si trasforma in un viaggio ipnotico e travolgente.

💬 Film in lingua originale con sottotitoli.
🎟️ Con l’abbonamento i biglietti sono a 4,50€! Scopri di più al link in bio.

Avalon, video directed and edited by Marco Porsia. Artwork and lettering by John Nobrega. Marco Porsia è stato il nostro videomaker agli esordi, a partire da *Boat or Swim*, il nostro primissimo video: girato ad Ancona, tra la spiaggia della Torre e la Sala delle Coppe alla Mole Vanvitelliana, nel lontano 2000. Da allora abbiamo vissuto insieme concerti, serate memorabili e un discreto numero di di avventure deliranti. Marco è romano di nascita, ma vive in Canada da anni, con il tempo è diventato un pezzo grosso nel pianeta dei documentari musicali— tra i suoi lavori lo splendido “Where Does a Body End?”, dedicato agli Swans.

Il video di *Avalon* è nato rovistando in vecchi drive: Marco ha ritrovato dei b-roll rimasti inutilizzati dai tempi di *Boat or Swim*, girati in Super 8. Con il prezioso contributo grafico di John Nobrega, quelle preziose immagini hanno trovato un nuovo senso.

A Marco ci lega un affetto speciale. Questo è il suo contributo a Matteo e al suo lavoro. Grazie, big man. ❤️ Avalon, video directed and edited by Marco Porsia. Artwork and lettering by John Nobrega.

Marco Porsia was our videomaker in the early days, starting with *Boat or Swim*, our very first video, shot in Ancona between Torre beach and the Sala delle Coppe at the Mole Vanvitelliana, way back in 2000. Since then, we’ve shared concerts, unforgettable nights, and quite a few delirious adventures. Marco was born in Rome but has lived in Canada for years. Over time, he’s become a major figure in the world of music documentaries. Among his work is the wonderful *Where Does a Body End?*, about Swans.

The *Avalon* video came about while rummaging through old drives: Marco found some unused b-roll from the *Boat or Swim* days, all shot on Super 8. With John Nobrega’s invaluable graphic contribution, that precious footage found a new meaning.

We share a special bond with Marco. This is his contribution to Matteo and his work. Thank you, big man. ❤️

Ammetterò che ho perso un po il ritmo sulle #90sStories. Ma questa settimana cercherò di rifarmi.
Oggi parliamo di Marco Porsia, canadese di Roma o Romano del Canada che non mi ricordo esattamente perché (forse tramite Pietro Fuccio di @dna_concerti ) girò il nostro primo video (Boat or Swim) in Super8 in un giorno freddissimo di Gennaio a Portonovo e poi Spring to Downcomers. Da li in poi è rimasto uno dei super amici del gruppo che vediamo regolarmente quando passa da queste parti e che nel frattempo è diventato un bravissimo documentarista.

From London to Walton on the Naze and back.

1. Oh Herbie (my Lionheart) - a boat, a cat, a piano....
2. Piano Magic
3. Home is where the heart is. Thanks to Justine, Zed and the Boat-People for letting me be a part of you and your world.
4. If I die, I want to come back as a Swan
5. Violent Playground - Hometown of Nitzer Ebb.
6. Waving Goodbye to a new found family. Format (Music Essex)
7. Playing music to people is always a giving and taking. This was the view from the train, leaving Walton on the Naze. I was so happy, I almost cried.
8. The Devil has all the best tunes
9. In Richard and Michael's magic garden
10. This is my very happy (and very exhausted) face. On the was to the airport - back home - one of so many.

Se ricordo bene, Boat or Swim è stato il primo video che abbiamo fatto. Girato da @marcolepsy in parte in Canada ed in parte a Portonovo alla spiaggia della Torre in pieno inverno. Ricordo un freddo cane e che qualcuno chiamò i carabinieri che ci sorpresero mentre in una pausa stavamo pisciando sulla battigia.

Q: "@whatyoucouldnotvisualise was, and continues to be, screened worldwide at selected venues. At one of those events, you and Mick @mda1959 Allen appeared on stage with the Italian avant-garde band @larsen.to.it to play a few REMA - REMA songs. How did that come about? And is this the closest we'll ever get to a Rema-Rema reunion?"

A: "@marcolepsy, the director of the REMA - REMA "What You Could Not Visualise" documentary, knew the members of Larsen and recommended collaborating for a special live performance and screening of REMA - REMA in Turin. It proved a resounding success, and Marco won the award for Best Music Documentary at the @seeyousoundfestival Festival in Turin that year (2023)"

Teho Teardo’s upcoming album, Teho Teardo Plays Twin Peaks and Other Infinitives, arrives October 31th on CD and digital, with vinyl following in mid-November. The first single, “Laura Palmer’s Theme,” features Stefano Bollani on piano and reimagines Angelo Badalamenti’s classic score with a haunting, emotionally charged touch.

Directed by Marco Porsia and Peter Lynch, the accompanying video was shot in 2024 across surreal Ontario locations, including Toronto’s Black Dice.

Watch it below.
