The years-in-the-making Animal Collective movie, directed by frequent collaborator Danny Perez, will finally debut at next year’s Sundance Film Festival, which runs from January 21-31 in Utah. It’s called ODDSAC.

Talking about the name of the film to us earlier this year, AC’s Avey Tare said, “There’s a few titles we’re all psyched on, but it’s a matter of finding out what sits right, what looks right in terms of putting it in the credits.” So ODDSAC looks right in the credits, apparently.

Describing the movie, Tare continued: “The whole thing cohesively doesn’t have one narrative; it’s more of a visual or psychedelic thing. There are parts that are almost completely abstract, and there are parts that are little bit more live-action.” So yeah, it’s an Animal Collective movie, not Gone With the Wind.
