Sigur Rós: Valtari Film Experiment

Directed by Christian Larson, Melika Bass, Ragnar Kjartansson, Alma Har'el, Nick Abrahams, Floria Sigismondi, Ruslan Fedotov, Dash Shaw, John Cameron Mitchell, Ramin Bahrani, Ryan McGinley, Clare Langan

Sigur Rós have given a dozen film makers the same modest budget and asked them to create whatever comes into their head when they listen to songs from the band's album Valtari. The idea is to bypass the usual artistic approval process and allow people utmost creative freedom. These 16 films are the result. Sad, funny, beautiful and, occasionally, plain bewildering, they represent just some of the available emotional responses to this most contemplative album.
