The Accidental Rockstar

The Accidental Rockstar is a music documentary telling the story of the iconic rock band, Kaizers Orchestra, through band member Helge Risa – the "man with a gas mask." Drawing inspiration from Kaisers Orchestra's own aesthetic, this film blurs the boundary between imagination and reality. We follow Helge as he is about to perform at the Oslo Opera House. On his way to the stage, Helge is separated from the band and finds himself in Kaizer's fictional universe. He travels through the albums from the band's past – leading us to different chapters of documentary material. On this journey, we get a glimpse of music history – from Kaizers' humble beginning in a practice room at teacher's training college to sold out concerts 12 years later.
