I’m Tim first premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival earlier this year. It was first announced in 2021 and was originally intended for release in 2023, but was eventually pushed back. The film is narrated mostly by Bergling himself, and begins right at his birth in Stockholm, Sweden, through to the eruption of his mighty career, and up until his tragic death in 2018.
Also featured throughout are interviews with his family, friends, and other artists including David Guetta, Nile Rodgers (who featured on Avicii’s 2013 track Lay Me Down), and Coldplay’s Chris Martin, who sang on Heaven from his posthumous 2019 album, TIM.
A synopsis reads, “This is the unlikely story of Tim Bergling, a shy and insecure boy who, without realising it, suddenly created one of the world’s most loved artists – Avicii. Through unique home movies and a huge private archive, we get to follow Tim on a winding journey through life – from the very first breath at the maternity ward in Stockholm in 1989 to the tragic end in Oman in 2018.
“This is a film where Tim himself is the narrator and he shares his inner self in a way we haven’t heard before. Through himself and everyone close to him – family, artist colleagues and best friends – we get to know Tim – the boy behind Avicii – for the first time.”
