In May 2008, the band released their first feature-length documentary film titled "A Skin, a Night" on DVD. The film, directed by filmmaker Vincent Moon, documents the lives of the band surrounding the recording of "Boxer" and just before a show at the London venue Koko. Along with the release of the DVD was a CD collection of B-sides and rarities titled "The Virginia EP". The National's collaboration with Vincent Moon began long before the filming of "A Skin, a Night". Vincent Moon discovered the band after the release of their first album and became friends with its members after a show at Paris' La Guinguette Pirate. Soon after this meeting, Moon filmed his first music videos ever, which were for the National's songs "Daughters of the Soho Riots" and "Lit Up". Moon's photography also appears on the cover for "Alligator".
