Anonymous Club paints a raw and intimate picture of enigmatic singer-songwriter, Courtney Barnett, an anti-influencer who is a powerful voice for our times, a recluse acclaimed by audiences the world over and a strong female artist in conflict with herself.<br /><br />The feature documentary project was initiated in 2018 by Danny Cohen, who has been collaborating for many years with Courtney Barnett on her award-winning and highly imaginative music videos. Danny spent three years on tour in Europe, the US and Asia and at home in Melbourne filming with Barnett as a one-man crew, shooting on a 16mm camera, customised to record sync sound.<br /><br />In tandem with filming, at the suggestion of Danny, the notoriously guarded Courtney Barnett kept an audio diary on an analogue Dictaphone. These unmediated reflections capture Courtney’s internal struggles – from her own confidence and self-perfection, to the pressures of fame, to understanding her place in music and as an artist navigating the world around her.<br /><br />Courtney Barnett’s latest album Things Take Time, Take Time is out now.<br /><br />Anonymous Club is in UK Cinemas on 9th December 2022.
