we are the city

“Friends Hurt” by Vancouver band We Are The City, from the album Violent.

Violent is not only an album, but also a companion feature-length, foreign-language film the group collectively wrote, cast, directed and scored, alongside Amazing Factory Productions.  They’ve recently announced that the film will be screened as a Perspective Canada Official Selection at the Cannes Film Festival this month.
Set in picturesque Bergen, Norway and shot over 13 days, Violent’s story revolves around the film’s young protagonist (Dagny), who, in the midst of experiencing a catastrophic event is remembering the five people who love her most.
