Mitski: The Land
Mitski: The Land converts the magic and majesty of witnessing Mitski live onto screen. Filmed over three nights at Atlanta’s Fox Theatre in 2024, this is a thrilling portrayal of what kept hundreds of thousands of fans rapt at venues across the globe.
A phenomenal live performer, Mitski brought her acclaimed seventh album, The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We, to the world’s stages in theatrical and daring fashion, presenting as much a spectacle as an expansive live show. Alongside a seven-piece band and with choreography by Monica Mirabile, Mitski uses every inch of the stage to her advantage, weaving in and out of the spotlight and shadows. Mitski: The Land captures an artist at the height of her musical powers, bringing a cinematic intimacy to the sweeping live experience, showcasing music from “The Land Is…” alongside reworkings and reimaginations of songs that color her expansive career.
The starkness of the stage design (created by Andi Watson) evokes the album’s themes of isolation, longing, and the wild beauty of human connection, with visual elements that shift from a striking minimalism to a lush, dreamlike tableau.
Directed by Grant James and mixed by her long-standing producer Patrick Hyland, Mitski: The Land preserves the rich, raw aura of having experienced these shows first-hand, whilst offering fans the opportunity to remember together or witness Mitski’s magic for the very first time.
