Australian band C.O.F.F.I.N announce 10,000 Miles From Oslo documentary and UK/EU tour

The film traces the group’s journey from teenage beginnings to becoming one of Australia’s most respected contemporary rock’n’roll acts, drawing on over 20 years of archival footage, interviews, unseen material and life-on-the-road footage. At its centre are the decades-long friendships that forged the band, particularly founding members Ben Portnoy and Abijah Rado, who started performing together at age 12, and later additions Aaron Moss and Steven “Kosty” Kostogiannis. Commentary from family, collaborators and figures across the Australian music community is threaded through live in-studio performances and early previews of unreleased music.

10,000 Miles From Oslo will screen across Australia, Europe and North America throughout July, August and November. The UK gets two dates with Q&A sessions featuring the band and director Jake Laderman: Genesis Cinema in London on 10 August, and Cultplex in Manchester on 12 August. Oslo’s Vaterland will host a Q&A screening on 27 November.
