Blood Incantation Documentary "All Gates Open" to Screen at Alamo Drafthouse

Blood Incantation ‘s documentary about the making of Absolute Elsewhere , one of 2024’s best albums , is coming to Alamo Drafthouse for a single night. 26 Alamo locations will screen All Gates Open: In Search of Absolute Elsewhere on May 20 , and screenings will be followed by a live Q&A broadcast from the Sloans Lake Alamo location in Denver. Tickets , including the Downtown Brooklyn and Staten Island locations, are on sale now.

“The creation of Absolute Elsewhere was truly a monumental process – taking several years and dozens of people to manifest it – and to see the results of its ambition continue to blossom is truly humbling,” Blood Incantation say. “Being huge fans of music documentaries ourselves, we knew at the outset that any attempt to capture this project fully would require a workload of epic proportions.” They continue:

> Back in Berlin during July 2023, it was a real joy to have the documentary crew with us throughout the album sessions (and much more), chronicling many small yet important moments of the creative process, and were truly impressed by the final product’s warm and welcoming comprehensiveness; covering everything from rehearsals and preproduction, to collaborating with our musical inspirations, and diving deep into the personal philosophies behind the music. We were thrilled to be able to include the making-of documentary as a bonus item for the limited 4-disc deluxe artbook version of the album, yet we couldn’t escape feeling that perhaps burying it in such a specialized format might have limited our fans’ access to it. To that end, we are honored to be able to present All Gates Open: In Search of Absolute Elsewhere in its ideal context – in theaters, in tandem with the standalone release of its accompanying soundtrack on 2LP and CD, both of which include the documentary on Blu-ray. We are deeply grateful to Alamo Drafthouse for their collaboration on this special event, and look forward to sharing with our fans this feature length, in-depth film showcasing the creation of this album which so greatly transformed our lives.
