“Working with some of the greatest artists of our time was a thrilling, tremendous journey that I would take over and over again, if given the opportunity,” the Adelaide songwriter said.
“I am humbled by the talent of everyone involved and so grateful for the experience. I am, nostalgic for the present.”
Director Daniel Askill added: “Working with Sia on Nostalgic for the Present has been a dream. Her music and her emotional instincts opened space for something that doesn’t exist anywhere else at the intersection of performance, music, and film.”

The film draws from a catalogue that made Sia one of the most streamed artists of the 21st century — spanning 1000 Forms of Fear cuts like “Chandelier” and “Elastic Heart” through to This Is Acting singles “Cheap Thrills” and “Unstoppable.”
Trafalgar Releasing CEO Marc Allenby said the moment demanded the theatrical treatment.
“Sia’s Coachella performance is exactly the kind of cultural moment that belongs on the big screen. From the powerful vocals to the mesmerising visuals, we are proud to celebrate its tenth anniversary by presenting the unmatched spectacle of the film as a collective experience for her fans.”
