Tim Bergling).<\/p>\n<p>Avicii will attend MIPTV next month to launch the hour-long film. <em>Stories<\/em> tells of the artist\u2019s experiences since the release of this debut album, <em>True<\/em>, in 2013. It follows the release of Avicii\u2019s follow-up LP, which features 14 new original tracks, including the single \u201cWaiting For Love.\u201d The film chronicles\u00a0Avicii\u2019s early years posting tracks online, through to his global success. It is directed by Levan Tsikurishvili (<em>Avicii on Tour<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p><em>Stories<\/em> is an OPA People production in cooperation with Sveriges Television. BBC Worldwide is the international distributor for the documentary with world rights for TV (excluding Sweden) and VOD.<\/p>\n<p>Salim Mukaddam, the director of music at BBC Worldwide, said, \u201cAvicii redefined the boundaries of contemporary dance music with his debut album. His hits have gone gold and platinum in 25 countries, but little is known about the man behind the music. This film promises to give fans and music lovers an insight into the unbelievable world of a superstar artist, from the highs of playing to packed stadiums around the world to the lows of illness and struggling to get back to the stage. We are very excited to see the finished project later this year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Daniel Zackrisson, executive producer at Sveriges Television, added, \u201cWe are extremely excited to work with one of Sweden\u2019s biggest music exports, and the documentary will be something special in the world of music documentaries. The very unique footage will give an extraordinary look into Tim\u2019s world as the artist Avicii. The very talented director, Levan, is spending an enormous amount of time with Tim, and the access to the normally so anonymous artist is giving a rare insight into the life of a superstar.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LONDON: BBC Worldwide has acquired the music documentary Stories, from Grammy-nominated producer, songwriter and artist Avicii (a.k.a.
