Movie: You Can't Stop the Music

  • HomePage

  • Overview

    What happens when you can no longer practice the profession that is part of your identity? You Can’t Stop the Music is a portrait from today’s Afghanistan, where life in the shadow of the Taliban can at times seem surreal. When the Taliban took over Afghanistan, Akbar Adeli was a music student at Kabul University. For conservative Afghans, music had been suspect even before the Taliban takeover, but it soon became a gamble with one’s life – especially since Akbar plays Western pop music.

The 'At The Roadhouse' concert film follows intimate performances and sequences by The Paper Kites, where in July 2022, the band arrived in the small regional Victoria town of Campbells Creek (140km north-east of Melbourne, Australia) to transform an empty heritage building into an American-style roadhouse. Over one month, the band performed a free, unannounced residency at 'The Roadhouse' to locals and passersby on Friday and Saturday evenings, while spending weekdays working on their new record in a barn on the same property. Captured by cinematographer Keiren Watson-Bonnic and edited by lead singer and songwriter Sam Bentley, the feature-length film will take audiences on an intimate journey reminiscent of their time at The Roadhouse, along with the landscape and beauty of Campbells Creek.
