Three years after Canadian singer-songwriter Feist catapulted to international recognition with the release of her multi Juno Award-winning, Grammy-nominated album, The Reminder, comes an intimate window into the process of its creation and the cast of characters whose creative unions made the work both possible and completely unforgettable. The film follows Feist and her supporting cast through an impressionistic array of flickering scenery, echoing stadiums, puppet workshops, the red carpet, a crumbling French mansion, definitive concert performances and uncommonly candid interviews. Itself a part of the creative mosaic it portrays, Look At What The Light Did Now illuminates the synergy of collaboration, art as magnifying glass, and the power of trust.

Plot

Directed by Anthony Seck, Look at What the Light Did Now is a poetic, intimate look at one of the most idiosyncratic artists to ever sell a million records. In contrast to so many pre-fab pop divas, we see in Feist a musician who eschews slick L.A. studios in favour of recording in the living room of a French country house; who lets mistakes and happy accidents become essential elements of her songs; and who forsakes choreography and pyrotechnics in her concerts for handcrafted shadow puppetry and old-school overhead projectors. And we also see the rare pop star who casts ego aside to give equal shine and creative input to the producers, musicians, visual artists, photographers, puppeteers, projectionists and video directors who bring her musical and aesthetic vision to life.
