Avicii – I'm Tim is a 2024 documentary about the life of Swedish DJ Avicii.

The film features interviews from Chris Martin, Nile Rodgers and David Guetta among others.^[3]

Plot

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".^[4]

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".^[5]

Release

The documentary was originally announced by the Avicii estate 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."^[6]

The new release date was announced on Avicii's Instagram profile in April 2024.^[7] The wider release is yet to be confirmed. On October 9, 2024, it was announced that the documentary would be played at Stockholm Filmfestival in 2024.^[8]

On November 4, 2024, Candamo Film announced that the documentary would be released worldwide on Netflix, starting on December 31, 2024.^[9] The documentary will be released together with Avicii's last performance at Ushuaïa Ibiza on August 28, 2016, titled Avicii – My Last Show.^[10]
