As their fictional romance blurred with reality, they fell in love, recorded an album, and embarked on a world tour. Fueled by two years of exhilaration, performance, and psychological turmoil, The Swell Season is much more than a music documentary. It is a volatile and intimate portrait of a romance that fractures in the face of life on the road and personal tragedy. As Glen and Markéta’s relationship unhinges, ultimately music prevails as their enduring connection. - Cast - GLEN HANSARD MARKÉTA IRGLOVÁ - Credits - Presented by: Elkcreek Cinema In Association with: Overcoat Records A Film by: Nick August-Perna, Chris Dapkins, Carlo Mirabella-Davis Produced by: Carlo Mirabella-Davis Cinematography by: Chris Dapkins Edited by: Nick August-Perna Sound recording: Nick August-Perna, Brett Hammond Music by: The Swell Season, Iron and Wine, Bill Callahan - Cast Bios - Glen Hansard is the Academy Award–winning principal songwriter and vocalist/guitarist for Irish group The Frames and one half of folk rock duo, The Swell Season.
