Apparently the title of a feature documentary currently in production about Scott Walker, by director Stephen Kijak. Anyone know anything about this?

This from Scott Walker yahoo groups site:

"there is currently a scott walker documentary in the works, brought to us by a fellow named stephen kijak.

i don't know a lot about it. but i was speaking to an individual who
knows the filmmaker and he said that they were shooting some of the
recording sessions for the new album.

apparently one scene is of a studio musician playing a side of beef.

the filmmaker is working at fits and starts because scott walker is
being very selective about dates when kijak can shoot.

sounds exciting."

I'm looking forward to a new Scott Walker album, but frankly studio musicians playing sides of beef doesn't sound too promising...

of course it does.

It's now been 10 years since Tilt.

four months pass...

"David Bowie will act as executive producer on the feature-length documentary, 30 Century Man: The Music of Scott Walker, which will explore the life and work of one of the greatest and most enigmatic performers in 20th-century music. A half-hour promo reel was screened in Cannes during the week, and the film will feature contributions from many acts influenced by Walker, among them Radiohead, Goldfrapp, Johnny Marr and, of course, Bowie himself."

i.e. no actual contributions from Scott Walker.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 09:23 (twenty-one years ago)

Yes, there will be contributions from Scott Walker. There will be footage of him in the studio working on his new album. Album and film to be released simultaneously in late 2005.

Hopefully Goldfrapp will be used as the side of beef.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 09:33 (twenty-one years ago)

Album and film to be released simultaneously in late 2005.

Any advance word on the music? More Pola X-type impressionism?
