FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Fans get backstage pass to Arcade Fire with The Reflektor Tapes in Cineplex Theatres Cineplex’s Music at the Movies series continues with Arcade Fire, Roger Waters docs, and live performances from Eric Clapton and The Who. TORONTO, ON – August 27, 2015 – Canadian indie-rock legends Arcade Fire are playing at a Cineplex theatre near you when the all-access documentary The Reflektor Tapes hits the big screen on September 23, 2015, after its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival. In support of Reflektor, Arcade Fire’s acclaimed fourth album, the Grammy-winning Canadian band toured the globe, selling out stadiums and headlining major music festivals including Coachella and Glastonbury. Now, fans can experience first-hand what it’s like to go on tour with the band. The Reflektor Tapes takes audiences into the hearts and minds of Arcade Fire, one of today’s most renowned and influential bands. From Sundance Grand Jury Prize-winning director Kahlil Joseph (Until The Quiet Comes), the film charts the band’s creative journey from Jamaica, where they laid the foundation for their Reflektor album, to arena shows in Los Angeles and London via an impromptu performance in a Haitian hotel. “Arcade Fire is one of today’s most respected and critically-acclaimed rock bands, making The Reflektor Tapes a great addition to our Music at the Movies series,” said Pat Marshall, Vice President, Communications and Investor Relations, Cineplex Entertainment. “We’re proud to present Canadian movie-goers with the opportunity to see this documentary about such a well-loved homegrown band.” The Reflektor Tapes will screen as part of Cineplex Front Row Centre Events on September 23, 2015, with a second showing in Cineplex theatres on September 28, 2015.
