Daft Punk's interstellar legacy shined once again at a rare one-night-only event in Los Angeles.
Following the Los Angeles debut screening of Daft Punk's iconic anime film, Interstella 5555: The 5history of the 5system 5ecret 5tar 5A panel took place in which two fundamental figures of the duo's historic career participated: former manager Pedro Winter and creative director Cédric Hervet.
Presented by IHEARTCOMIX, it was a particularly special reunion considering that both Winter and Hervet were instrumental in shaping Daft Punk's legacy, from their pioneering electronic music to their avant-garde visual projects. They reflected on the development of Interestella 5555 and provided insight into some of the creative geniuses who defined the legacy of robots.
Originally released in May 2003 as a visual companion to Daft Punk's second album. Discovery, Interestella 5555 was co-created with Hervet, director Kazuhisa Takenouchi, and the late anime legend Leiji Matsumoto.
The September 30 screening at the United Theater kicked off IHEARTCOMIX's 20th anniversary celebrations and marked a unique opportunity to see the film in theaters. This version has been remastered in 4K and is the only way to listen Discovery in Dolby 5.1 Surround, according to a press release shared with EDM.com.
Following the panel with Winter and Hervet, the night closed with an after-party featuring DJ sets from Thee Mike B and Busy P b2b The Dare. The party was attended by Madeon and Reggie Watts, among other renowned creatives.
