Mystery Film Experiment blows up
Sigur Rós’s ambitious plan to make a film for every track on this summer’s ‘Valtari’ album draws to a close today with one of the series’ most ambitious submissions from director Floria Sigismondi. The flyblown 10-min mini-epic features indie movie stars Elle Fanning and John Hawkes, as father and daughter, one of whom may be dead.

The sixteenth film in the series, it renews Sigur Ros's relationship with Sigismondi, who in 2003 won the European MTV video of year for the band's ‘Vaka', in which gas-masked school children played in the black snow of a nuclear winter.
Valtari Film Experiment DVD / Blu-ray / download
In the New Year, all 16 Valtari films are to be collected together on DVD, Blu-ray and download for release on Feb 11th as the ‘Valtari Film Experiment’. The release will include all 14 films commissioned by the band, alongside the two winning entries from the parallel public competition, plus three additional making-of features.
