Featured Videos and Stills Sigur Rós, 8 Rúrí Stúdíó Rúrí Sigur Rós, Blóðberg Johan Renck Sinestra Sigur Rós - Andrá Katya Gimro X Alexey Krupnik 31st July 2023 Sigur Rós Sigur Rós invited ten filmmakers to explore their own visual interpretation of a track on the band’s new album ÁTTA. Refreshing and diverse in outcome, this experiment in creative freedom led to ten entirely different videos, and in turn, will platform a range of creators from a range of backgrounds. This week sees the release of the first three films: 8 directed by Icelandic artist Rúrí, renowned for her political and environmental feminist activism, and whose 1983 performance and installation ‘Rainbow I’ serves as the cover art for ÁTTA (shown above). “Among the many gems of the album ÁTTA, it was the song ‘8’ that captivated me. It immediately connected not only to the present, but also to infinity. Catharsis – soft, melancholic, powerful and uplifting,” said Rúrí. More information on the video here Blóðberg directed by Johan Renck who says about his film: “I feel as nihilistic as one could regarding the future. We are powerless against our own stupidities. Some aspects of this came to merge with my impressions of the themes of Blóðberg. The music becoming a score to my own miserable thoughts, giving them beauty as only music can.” Andrá directed by Katya Gimro X Alexey Krupnik. Katya Gimro’s quote about her film: “I wished to show how Sigur Rós is the soundtrack of our lives through happiness, pain, hope, grief, and love. The short documentary, Andrá, celebrates the way in which Sigur Rós captures and channels the humanity that unites us all.” INFO: Sigur Rós website Credits Sigur Rós - 8 Directed by Rúrí.
