I’ve Been Trying To Tell You
Directed by Alasdair McLellan
We’re thrilled to share the trailer for the forthcoming film directed by Alasdair McLellan that accompanies our new album.
"Last year I met with Saint Etienne’s Bob Stanley in Saltaire, near Bradford, to talk about working together on a film for their new album. When we met, we found we shared so much in common - after all, Saint Etienne’s music has always conjured beautiful images for me and influenced my own visual style - the project became something bigger.
The film ended up being a strange road trip around Britain: from Southampton to Portmeirion to Blackpool to Grangemouth to Scunthorpe to London.
It is a film made up of other films; most are an interpretation of my memories from that time, some are borrowed from cinema, others are ‘memories’ of what I wish life would have been. But all of it was important - whether the memories are real or not.” Alasdair McLellan - July 2021
'I’ve Been Trying To Tell You' will premier at NFT1 on London’s Southbank on September 3rd (tickets on sale next week)
I've Been Trying To Tell You is released on 10th September 2021
