The 44-minute film, directed by Kevin Phillips, will see the light of day on September 8th, and band’s vocalist Wesley Shultz admitted he never even imagined they’ll present this project to the world at TIFF.

“This short film is about a member of my family whose battle with addiction has led her to rehab, jail, and ultimately [being] homeless now, for over a year. We were attempting to make a short film with the album serving as our narrator. I never dreamed it would be premiered at one of the top international film festivals in the world,” said Schultz in a statement.

This sounds like the most fitting introduction to their new album III, scheduled to be released on September 13th. The Lumineers previously revealed they’ll break this record down into three chapters, each one focusing on a different main character.

The Lumineers didn’t opt for this name simply because this is their third studio album. III will actually be arranged like a book with three separate chapters consisting of several songs, each one focusing on three complex and equally interesting fictional characters.

The indie folk band already introduced the first song, “Gloria”. The first third of the album will focus on her journey, while the other two will follow another two members of her family – her son Jimmy Sparks and her grandson Junior Sparks.

“It combines specificity with a more general exploration of family, love, loss and pain – and, yes, arranging the songs that way is meant to trick you into consuming the whole thing,” explained band’s frontman Wesley Schultz in an interview with Billboard.

Osheaga Festival will take place during a three day weekend from August 2-4 at its usual spot – Parc Jean-Drapeau on Île Sainte-Hélène. This amazing musical experience has been around since 2006, and it attracted tens of thousands of visitors every year.

The organizers of this festival never had any trouble attracting A-list performers to Montreal, but this year’s lineup is really putting some of their past ones to shame. The headliners aren’t the only reason to buy a ticket since each of the festival days comes with a long list of impressive names.

Janelle Monáe, J Balvin, Hozier and Tame Impala are also among the artist who received the top billing. Lineup includes wide variety of diverse performers, making sure fans of different genres find something to enjoy.
