On February 28, 2013, they announced the upcoming release of a documentary chronicling the lead singer’s brother Tom Berninger’s journey of touring with the band. The film, titled Mistaken for Strangers , premiered at New York City’s Tribeca Film Festival on April 17. Mistaken for Strangers has been described as “a funny, eccentric and finally deeply poignant depiction of art, family, self-sabotage and the prickly intricacies of brotherly love.” The film was edited by Carin Besser, a longtime songwriter for the band and Berninger’s wife. It had a theatrical release in theaters across the United States and Europe. The band additionally played several festivals in the summer of 2013, including The Boston Calling Music Festival in May 2013. That same year, they contributed the song “Lean” to the soundtrack for the film The Hunger Games: Catching Fire .
