"Efterklang - The Makedonium Band" is a new music documentary directed by Danish filmmaker Andreas Johnsen. It follows Efterklang as they embark on a journey to Skopje in North Macedonia, to form a new band and create a show to be performed in front of the local freedom monument Makedonium. All within 6 days. With the help of Grga, a concert organiser from MKC Youth Cultural Centre, and by reaching out to local musicians through open calls, the band manages to form connections with a wide range of talented musicians from both the traditional and the contemporary scene of North Macedonia.

In August 2010, French filmmaker Vincent Moon and Efterklang's 8 piece-live band met up on an island off the Danish coast. The objective was to shoot a film. A film with the same length as an album, and a film full of performances, experiments and collaborations. 
Over an intense period of 4 days Efterklang collaborated with more than 200 local musicians, kids and their own parents, creating new performances and interpretations of songs from their album Magic Chairs (4AD, Rumraket 2010). It was all filmed by Vincent Moon who same time conducted several filmic and musical experiments with Efterklang as his dedicated playmates.
