Swans: Where Does a Body End?
2019
From their roots as a brutal, confrontational industrial band, through breakups and chaos, to their odds-defying current status as one of the most accomplished and ambitious bands in the world, one whose concerts are more like ecstatic rituals than nostalgic trips. SWANS has always been a collection of singular performers, but there's been one constant since its formation in 1982--singer, songwriter Michael Gira. 'Where Does a Body End?' is a SWANS documentary with unfettered access to hundreds of hours of Gira/SWANS archives of never-seen-before recordings, videos, and photographs. An unfiltered story of a life in the arts, frequent difficulty spanning decades without a safety net, creating work because Gira says "What else am I going to do?"

SWITCH.
A revealing profile of frontman Michael Gira and an honest and exhaustive look at the band, Marco Porsia's 'Swans: Where Does a Body End?' does the seemingly impossible by defining a musical collective that has been in a constant state of metamorphosis and reinvention ever since it was created.
