INNI

CONTEST: Sigur Ros Film “INNI” (TIFF Bell Lightbox)

sigur ros

A few days ago, I posted something about the new Sigur Rós film INNI.  As it happens, the film will be screening at the TIFF Bell Lightbox and thanks to them, I’m able to offer up a pair of tickets to the screening.  In this entrancing concert film/documentary, Icelandic post-rock band Sigur Rós melds its stunning sonic landscape with intoxicating visuals.  Canadian director Vincent Morisset—who previously chronicled the Arcade Fire’s Neon Bible tour in the 2008 documentary Miroir Noir—uses split-screen effects to immerse us in the band’s spectacular, almost cinematic live performances and contrasts it with intimate, introspective moments offstage. The film has the band covering songs from all of the band’s four albums, so something for every fan of the band.

Want to go?  I have a pair of tickets to the 8:45pm screening on Friday, Oct. 28th.  E-mail me at indiemusicfilter @ gmail . com with INNI in the subject line, I’ll pick a winner next wednesday.  The deadline to enter is wednesday, Oct. 12th at noon EST.

And here’s “Festival” again from the film, so good I have to post it twice.

INNI (Sigur Ros)

Watch this clip of Sigur Ros performing “Festival” from their upcoming film INNI (out November 7th), the bands first ever live album, or second live film (and follow up to 2007’s acclaimed iceland tour film heima).  Each copy of the special editions that are purchased will contain a “unique concert artefact”, a piece of the clothing worn by a band member over the nights of november 20-21 at london’s alexandra palace, in 2008.  Each of the band’s outfits has now been painstakingly pressed (but not washed) and then cut into neat squares which have then been put into individually numbered envelopes, each to be inserted in its own lavish special edition box, along with coloured vinyl 7-inch of the unreleased song lúppulagið, inni enamel badge, light sensitive paper and all the other goodies.
