Synopsis

This visual accompaniment to the 2023 album of the same name by revered indie-folk wizard Will Oldham (aka Bonnie “Prince” Billy) invites us not only to hear but to watch the music in a new way. Assembled by filmmaker and archivist Ryan Daly in collaboration with Oldham from a vast trove of 16 mm film prints, KEEPING SECRETS WILL DESTROY YOU takes the form of an immersive found-footage collage that counterpoints and illuminates Oldham’s profoundly personal yet resonant lyrics.
