Avicii – I'm TimAn intimate documentary about the life of late EDM icon Avicii is coming to Netflix, the streaming service announced in a press release.
Netflix will also premiere Avicii – My last showwhich narrates the DJ's last performance in Ushuaïa Ibiza in 2016, according to a Press release. Ubiquitously known as one of the most virtuoso dance music producers of all time, Avicii, whose real name was Tim Bergling, committed suicide two years later, at the age of 28, after dealing with mental health issues brought on largely by part due to an exhausting touring schedule.
Examining the last vestiges of his historic career, Avicii – I'm Tim features never-before-seen footage and interviews, with Bergling himself narrating. Directed by Henrik Burman and produced by Swedish cinematographer Björn Tjärnberg and Candamo Film, the documentary follows the artist “on a winding journey through life, from the first breath in the Stockholm maternity ward in 1989 to the tragic end in Oman in 2018.”
In other Avicii news, a rare auction of Bergling's personal belongings recently raised more than $700,000 in support of his family's efforts to advocate for suicide prevention. 267 of his personal items were auctioned off, with all proceeds benefiting the Tim Bergling Foundation, a philanthropic organization created in the wake of his death to provide support to young people suffering from mental health issues.
Another documentary from Academy Award-winning filmmaker Lawrence Bender is currently in production and will feature “unseen footage” shot around the time of Avicii's discovery and rise to fame. Meanwhile, investment firm Pophouse Entertainment plans to develop a musical about the DJ after acquiring a majority stake in his catalog.
Avicii – I'm Tim and Avicii – My last show will be released globally on Netflix on December 31, 2024.
