Sigur Rós – Valtari Film Experiment on December 8th



“World Premiere Event! Public screenings on all seven continents. Join Sigur Rós fans from around the world for a unique program of short films.”

This year Icelandic band Sigur Rós released their sixth album Valtari.

The band did something creative called “Valtari Film Experiment”.

Sigur Rós gave a dozen film makers the same budget and asked them to create whatever comes in to their head when they listen to songs from the band’s forthcoming album.

The idea is to abandon the usual approval process from Sigur Rós, and allow film makers utmost creative freedom.

On December 8th, the Canadian Film Institute with conjunction with the Embassy of Iceland.

They are proud to present the Ottawa premiere of Sigur Rós’ Valtari Film Experiment at the Library and Archives of Canada Theatre on 395 Wellington St.

You have to be 18 and over to attend this because some of the video are pretty risque. (IE naked body parts on “Fjögur píanó” which was filmed by Alma Har’el starring Shia LaBeouf in the buff :P)

The events starts at 8pm and runs for about two hours.

Thanks to the nice people at Canadian Film Institute, they are giving away passes to this.

If you want to win and attend this event.

Simply comment on the bottom with your name and email.

Since there are no tickets, the lucky winner can skip the line on Saturday night but there are no assigned seatings.

It’s a first come, first serve seating. So better get there early!

Contest ends on December 7th at 12pm.
