Anonymous Club
Director: Danny Cohen Run Time: 83 min. Release Year: 2022
Starring: Bones Salone, Courtney Barnett, Dave Mudie, Katie Harkin, Stella Mozgawa
With unprecedented, intimate access to the private life of Courtney Barnett, this innovative and stylised 16mm feature documentary follows a paradoxically introverted performer and anti-influencer, who, at the height of success, is ready to walk away. Long-time collaborator Danny Cohen’s feature documentary reveals a woman who finds power in sharing her vulnerability. Recording her innermost thoughts on a Dictaphone over a period of three years, Courtney begins her slow acceptance of Danny Cohen’s camera. This unique filming process mirrors Courtney’s gradual search for purpose and emergence as an artist embracing her place in the world.
“Anonymous Club hits a sweet spot that the best music does, hitting notes that are both relatable and alien, painting a surprisingly grounding picture” -Graeme Guttman, Screen Rant
