While everyone’s getting excited Reflektor fever and hoping that Arcade Fire will magically drop in at their neighbourhood pub for a secret show, the band made a different sort of appearance at the Toronto International Film Festival recently. Sort of.

The band scored “Un Danse des buffons” (also known as “A Jester’s Dance”), an experimental silent film by Marcel Dzama that ran during TIFF.

Sarah talked to Dzama and checked out the film for Huffington Post Music Canada.
