‘If There’s Ever a Documentary Made About Me, You Should Use This’: See Unreleased Footage from the New Avicii Film

Director Henrik Burman discusses his new Avicii documentary, 'I'm Tim.' Watch an exclusive clip.

Burman began work on the project in 2019 — shortly after the pioneering artist’s death at age 28 earlier that year — where he initially planned to make an hour-long program for Swedish National Television about the final, posthumous Avicii album, 2019’s Tim. He found hours of interviews with the producer conducted during different periods of his career, including some in the later part of his life, when he was able to reflect on quitting touring in 2016, his problems with alcohol abuse, his approach to making music and more. The non-linear storyline goes from a sonogram image of Bergling in the womb, to lo-fi footage of the artist as a baby dancing with his dad in the family home, to him as a pimply-faced teenager, to his developing an interest in electronic music production and subsequent rise.
