“How do you get to a moment like this? That’s a long story… I’ll tell you it, if you got the time…” Mubi has revealed the first look teaser trailer for a new music documentary titled Pulp: What Do You Do for an Encore?, profiling the band known as Pulp. Last year they released a new reunion album, titled More, and toured the world playing arenas. This doc covers that experience and follows them around on the road, as they reconnect with fans worldwide. It’s also a look back at the band (formed in Sheffield, UK in 1978) and all they’ve been through over the years. Charting the Sheffield band’s extraordinary journey from obscurity to cultural touchstone. Fusing footage from Pulp’s biggest ever arena show with four decades of colourful, never-seen-before archival material. Directed by Garth Jennings & narrated by legendary frontman Jarvis Cocker. Experience it in cinemas for one night only this fall – before it’s streaming on Mubi later on. Enjoy.
Here’s the first teaser for Garth Jennings’ doc Pulp: What Do You Do for an Encore?, from YouTube:
Intro via Pitchfork: “Mubi will release Pulp: What Do You Do for an Encore?, a 90-minute film narrated by the band’s own Jarvis Cocker. Directed by their longtime collaborator Garth Jennings, the feature combines footage from their arena tour behind last year’s reunion album, More, with archival film tracing the band’s rise from tenacious Sheffield also-rans to Britpop darlings.” Pulp: What Do You Do for an Encore? is a new documentary directed by British filmmaker Garth Jennings, diretor of Son of Rambow, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and both Sing & Sing 2 previously, plus other shorts. Produced by Paul Dugdale, Danny Gabai, Octavia Peissel, Amy Rattray. This hasn’t premiered at any festivals or elsewhere, as far as we know. Mubi debuts the Pulp: What Do You Do for an Encore? doc streaming later this year. It’ll screen for one-night-only in theaters worldwide: September 18th, 2026 in the UK first and September 24th in the US.
