Icelandic bands films showing at Palmerston Big Film Fest
The innovative Icelandic atmospheric rock band Sigur Ros has commissioned professional and amateur filmmakers to create short films based on the tracks from their latest album, valtari.
These films are going to be screened in select venues from Dec. 7 to 10 across all seven continents.
Palmerston Big Film Fest has been chosen as one of five venues in Canada, including Vancouver, Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal. The short films will be streamed over the Internet instead of being distributed in hard copy form like a typical feature. The band received over 800 submissions and have selected 17 for the final line-up. The films will provide a unique viewing experience, aimed at mature audiences.
Palmerston Big Film Fest takes place at the Norgan Theatre on Dec. 10 at 7:30pm. For advanced tickets call 519-338-2497 or e-mail gduff@wightman.ca. Tickets also available at the door.
