Avicii is gone, but he’s surely not forgotten. It’s been three and a half years since the producer died and now the Avicii estate has announced a new documentary on the life and music of Swedish artist who was born as Tim Bergling. The documentary will be set for release in 2023. The film will feature newly produced material and includes interviews with Bergling’s family, friends and colleagues, along with never-before-seen archive footage and interviews with Bergling himself.

The film is being billed as a look at the “music and the artist who defined an era and changed the world of music forever, and is an up-close, intimate, and epic story about his unparalleled successes and his struggles to cope with the pressure.”

The documentary will be directed by Swedish director Henrik Burman while the production will be done by Swedish director and cinematographer Björn Tjärnberg and Candamo Film in cooperation with Swedish National Television.

“My goal is to provide an honest and new perspective on both the artist Avicii and Tim’s life,” Burman says. “I want this to be a film that surprises the audience and challenges the public’s image of Sweden’s biggest international artist of today and, in doing so, also shine a light on what his music has meant to so many people.”

The upcoming film is not the first documentary on Bergling, with 2017’s True Stories capturing the producer in the era when he was winding down his touring schedule in the wake of his much publicized period of burnout. This documentary caused controversy for its depiction of Bergling in what turn out to be the latter part of his life.
