# Avicii – I'm Tim

Avicii – I'm Tim is a 2024 documentary film about the life of Swedish DJ Avicii. The film premiered at the Tribeca Festival on June 9, 2024. It is directed by Swedish director Henrik Burman, produced by Björn Tjärnberg, and features interviews from Chris Martin, Nile Rodgers and David Guetta among others.

## Synopsis

The former movie description from Tribeca Festival reads: "Before there was Avicii, there was just Tim. For the first time through his own words, witness the journey of a shy but prodigious musical talent who would soon become one of the defining artists of his generation".
According to Billboard, the movie will include "never-before-seen archive footage and interviews with Bergling himself". It will also feature "newly produced material, with interviews with Bergling's family, friends and colleagues".

## Release

The documentary was originally announced by Candamo Film in September 2021, with a 2023 release date. The movie began production in 2019. Director Henrik Burman said about the film: "My goal is to provide an honest and new perspective on both the artist Avicii and Tim's life. I want this to be a film that surprises the audience and challenges the public's image of Sweden's biggest international artist of today and, in doing so, also shine a light on what his music has meant to so many people."
The new release date was announced on Avicii's Instagram profile in April 2024. On October 9, 2024, it was announced that the documentary would be official selection at the Stockholm International Film Festival in 2024.
