In keeping with the mystery film experiment concept, the brief was completely open for entrants to take inspiration from the world around them to devise and execute a masterpiece.In the endless magic hour of the Icelandic summer, Sigur Ros played a series of concerts around their homeland. Enterprise Small business Creative professionals.Sigur rГіs invited film makers and video directors to create an original video for one of the tracks from their new album valtari. Market your business Communicate internally Collaborate on video Monetize your videos. They hauled 40-plus people round 15 locations to the furthest flung corners of their homeland for their debut venture into live film, to create something, well, inspirational. 'heima' is sigur rs's first ever film, filmed over two weeks last summer when the band undertook a series of free, unannounced concerts in iceland.

Overall winnerFilm #12: fjГ¶gur pГanГі by anafelle liu, dio lau and ken nganOriginal, disturbing and simple, anafelle's video has a mesmerising and visceral quality that keeps you coming back. Ultimately, when the shortlist of that shortlist could be winnowed down no more, instead of the promised three runners up we had five, since it would have been unfair to exclude any, exhibiting as they did absolutely different creative imperatives. But, watching in shifts, each and every film was eventually adjudged and a shortlist drawn up. So much artistic endeavour! it's impressive and not a little bewildering. Everyone always says it's hard judging stuff, but 834 films?! it's safe to say this has been a difficult and at times divisive exercise. 1) that the long-running Icelandic band has split with drummer Orri P&195 ВЎll D&195 ВЅrason following recent sexual assault.

Beautifully executed and shot. Who are the tree people and why are they doing that? are they even people? who knows? (view)GonГ§alo soares: a big production number of sweeping ambition. (view)Caroline fisher: another very simple and mysterious idea. It is a glimpse of the corporeal unconscious, forever trapped in lacan's double sided mirrorThe five runners-up receiving t-shirts, art prints and albums are (in no order):Davide labanti: made almost entirely of just two shots, this is a strange an atmospheric piece with great casting and an unknowable story. Anafelle receives $5,000 plus one of the now sold-out blankets, a t-shirt, art print and album.Skinned is a restless self sculpturing of one's body. We think your film's great, thanks so much anafelle and whoever else is under all that whatever-it-is.

Nothing like anything you'd expect from a sigur rГіs video and none the worse for all that. Imaginatively conceived and edited. (view)Billy hasbi: like anafelle's, this was a real one-off.

Thank you again to sigur rГіs, parlophone/emi & xl, and all of the participants. We look forward to hearing more from her in the future. We wish anafelle liu, the overall winner, the very best of luck and hope this opportunity makes a real difference to her career going forward. The commentary around submissions has been hugely positive and we are confident every single participant will make new connections and grow their influence from this opportunity. We had 834 submissions and were blown away by the quality. It really has been something else.Emma trant, senior director at talenthouse - we were so happy to work with sigur rГіs, parlophone/emi & xl and to host this opportunity for film makers.

Wow! people have entered from all corners of the globe, inspiring us with so many and varied interpretations of the band's music. This time almost one thousand people (or rather, one thousand teams of people) have poured theirs hearts and souls into a bewildering variety of films that has frankly threatened to overwhelm us. At the time this seemed like a lot to assimilate and judge.
