I was working for a Swedish TV show - I'm Swedish - who basically did kind of spectacular stories. It was almost like CBS '60 Minutes,' but a Swedish version where we actually did travel quite a lot. After a while, I realized that travel is the most fun part of this, so why not do it for a longer time and just go off and explore? Malik Bendjelloul basicallycbsexplore share on social

I don't like music docs, usually. There's nothing to really say. What can you say about music? Normally, you can't say too much. There are a few really good ones, but the majorities are boring, I think. Malik Bendjelloul boredocgood share on social

I don't think 'Sugar Man' is a music doc any more than 'The Social Network' is about computers. It just happens to have the best soundtrack ever. Malik Bendjelloul computerdocman Change image and share on social
I love music. I think it's a higher art form, in a way, than movies. You know, a film you see once, maybe twice. A song will follow you forever. It's a magical thing. Malik Bendjelloul artfilmfollow Change image and share on social
I quit my job. I bought myself a real cheap, like, around-the-world flight ticket, and I went to 16 countries for six months just backpacking, living in cheap hostels, looking for stories with a camera and my ex-girlfriend. Malik Bendjelloul backpackbuycamera share on social
There are a few really fantastic stories left, and that kind of gives you some inspiration to find even new ones. Malik Bendjelloul fantasticfindinspiration Change image and share on social
