História
Drummond is a Scottish artist, musician, writer, and record producer. He was the co-founder of late 1980s avant-garde pop group The KLF.
Self
Between 1988 and 1992, British Electronic duo The KLF had scored #1 records throughout the world and had become household names. Determined to ridicule the establishment, they battled The Beatles and ABBA after sampling their music in hit records, and published the best-selling book The Manual (How to Have a Number One the Easy Way). In 1993, to mock performance art in the ultimate fashion, The KLF set fire to £1,000,000 in cash and destroyed their entire catalogue, vanishing from the public view... until now.
Bill Drummond, once the most notorious man in pop music, now travels around the world baking cakes, building beds and shining shoes as part of a twelve year World Tour which is his final art project. This film follows him as he does his work in India and the United States.

In 2017 Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty, formerly The KLF, returned after 23 years of silence with a new project. They were no longer a pop group but undertakers, building the People's Pyramid out of bricks made from the ashes of dead people.

Imagine acordar amanhã de manhã e toda a música tiver desaparecido. Simples assim. O que vai permanecer quando tudo estiver sumido: CDs, iPods, instrumentos? Bill Drummond, o homem que junto com The KLF conquistou o mundo pop, nos mostra. Um espírito anarquista, um eterno punk, que agora lidera o maior coral do mundo, o The 17, uma reunião de amadores que muda a todo momento, que não tem partituras ou ensaios. Drummond encontra as vozes para seu coral em campos abertos, fábricas, salas de aula, pubs.

The digital revolution of the last decade has unleashed creativity and talent of people in an unprecedented way, unleashing unlimited creative opportunites. But does democratized culture mean better art, film, music and literature or is true talent instead flooded and drowned in the vast digital ocean of mass culture? Is it cultural democracy or mediocrity? This is the question addressed by PressPausePlay, a documentary film containing interviews with some of the world’s most influential creators of the digital era.

Former members of the techno music group The KLF Bill Drummond and Jimi Cauty after forming a new "art collective" named the K Foundation burn 1 million UK pounds of their own money in a shack on the Isle of Jura while being taped by their roadie, Gimpo.
The KLF, King Boy D and Rockman Rock, are waiting on the Scottish island of Jura for their equipment to arrive. They ponder the sights and sounds of the landscape around them: the surf, the wind, birdsong, farm animals, fields, gardens, and moors. They savour the qualities of waiting. When their equipment arrives, they record these sounds and re-broadcast them to world, along with their own music.
Kingboy D
The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu, King Boy D and Rockman Rock, try to find and gain access to the mystical White Room. They leave a party at their house and drive in their 1968 US Cop Car through night-time London and the dusty plains of the Sierra Nevada region of Spain. There they face judgement: will they be allowed to enter the White Room? Meanwhile their lawyer David Franks tries to find a loophole to free them from their contract with Eternity.
