Bells Larsen: Blurring Time (the documentary)

Don’t miss your chance to see Bells Larsen: Blurring Time (the documentary) on the big screen!

*SEE TRAILER BELOW*

In 2022, Bells Larsen recorded the “high” voice he had lived with for years just before starting testosterone. After his voice dropped, he returned to the same songs and harmonized with those earlier recordings - singing with a past version of himself across time. The result became Blurring Time (2025), an album praised by The Guardian, Billboard, NPR, The New Yorker, the Toronto Star, CBC, Exclaim!, and many others. It was long listed for the 2025 Polaris Prize.

Along the way, Larsen documented the process on a 1999 VHS-C camera. Over three years, he and his loved ones captured more than twelve hours of footage chronicling the making of the record - and the quiet, complicated work of becoming.

Edited by Ryan Faist (boy wonder), Bells Larsen: Blurring Time (the documentary) distills that archive into a poignant 16-minute portrait of time, transition, and learning to carry every version of yourself forward.

This intimate Toronto screening will include a Q&A moderated by Emilie Hanskamp and a short set by Bells Larsen.

CONTENT NOTE: The documentary includes scenes with injection/needles.
