a-Ha head to cinemas for the second time this year, with a brand new movie release playing one day only this coming Thursday.

Earlier this year, fans of the Norwegian music band a-ha were able to pop along to their local cinema and see them on the big screen. Now, they’re going to be able to do so again, for the second time in 2022.

First up was a-ha: The Movie, which is now available on DVD.

Now, the cinematic universe expands with a-ha: True North, which is heading into cinemas around the UK this Thursday. It offers a behind the scenes look at the band recording their new album, which cunningly goes by the name of True North, as well as showcasing concert footage.

The official blurb reads:

90km above the Arctic Circle, Norway’s very own a-ha recorded their first collection of music since 2015’s Cast in Steel.

“True North is a letter from a-ha, from the Arctic Circle, a poem from the far north of Norway,” says Magne Furuholmen. Accompanied by a film, the conceptual collection combines the band’s visions and the talent of Norwegian orchestra, Arctic Philharmonic, to weave a narrative showing our collective connection to the environment. In recurring vignettes, the multidimensional film follows this narrative arc through actors portraying life in the North as well as documenting Magne, Morten and Paul recording music over two days in Bodø, Norway.

This is a unique release from a-ha, a multimedia experience with a powerful narrative.

It’s getting a pretty decent one day only release too, and you can find screenings close to you via the official website for the film, here.
