ELLIS is a short film directed by French artist JR and starring Robert De Niro. It is about an immigrant (played by De Niro) who walks the abandoned hallways of the Ellis Island Immigrant Hospital. Woodkid composed the film’s score, which is played and also co-written by Nils Frahm. That score is now being released as a mini-album on CD, 12” vinyl, and digitally, along with a 12-page picture booklet. ELLIS is out July 8 via Erased Tapes. Below, watch a trailer for the film, listen to excerpts of “Winter Morning I” and “Winter Morning II” (with narration from De Niro) from the score, and see the ELLIS cover art.
