U.S. Premiere Screenings As Part of RESFEST 2003

Virgin Records will release Daft Punk and Leiji Matsumoto’s animated music DVD, INTERSTELLA 5555: THE 5TORY OF THE 5ECRET 5TAR 5YSTEM, on November 18, 2003. Daft Punk is the iconoclastic French duo Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem Christo, whose dance music inflected with acid house, techno, pop and indie rock, has led them to become a critical and underground fan favorite. Leiji Matsumoto is one of the foremost talents in the world of Japanese Manga (comic book art). Not only is he known for his graphic style, but is seen as a master storyteller as well. Matsumoto’s professional collaboration with Daft Punk is the first of its kind.

Daft Punk’s 1996 debut album Homework reached worldwide sales of 2 million, followed by the duo’s 2001 release Discovery, which spawned the massive dance hit "One More Time," which went to #1 on the Billboard Dance Chart.

INTERSTELLA 5555, which premiered at the 2003 Cannes Film Festival, will have its U.S. premiere as a part of RESFEST 2003, an annual touring festival that showcases the year’s best short films, music videos and animation. Following are the screening locations/times:
