Dreaming Of You: The Making of The Coral to screen at Dublin cinema

The documentary feature Dreaming Of You: The Making of The Coral will screen at the Lighthouse Cinema in Dublin on September 11. There will also be a Q&A with director James Slater after the screening.

Narrated by the band, the documentary details the journey of British rock group The Coral with archival footage, animation and features appearances from The Lightning Seeds, The Zutons and Tramp Attack,

“I wanted Dreaming of You to feel deeply immersive, transporting us directly back to Northwest England in the late ’90s and early 2000s," said Slater.

"The visual aesthetic of the film is further enhanced by the formats used to shoot both the GVs and reconstructions—Mini DV, Hi-8, 16mm, and 8mm—all mediums that were used to document the band at the time. This rich visual tapestry is accompanied not only by the band’s musical archive but also by a layered sound design that further immerses us in the era, embedding us deeply within the time and place.”

The film had its premiere at The Sheffield Documentary Festival last month. It's set to hit selected UK cinemas on September 12, with an early screening at The Lighthouse in Smithfield.

“If you’re going to tell the story of The Coral, then it would be about growing up. An adventure that led to an album,” said Nick Power, The Coral.

The Merseyside six piece are best known for their hits 'Dreaming of You' and 'In the Morning.' The garage and psychedelic rock sound allowed the band to curate a cult following in the 2000s.

Their 2002 self-titled album was also nominated for the Mercury Prize upon release.
