Mystery Film Experiment

Sigur Rós, initially recognized as an unconventional Icelandic band, has remarkably transitioned into a leading innovator in the fusion of internet technology and artistic creativity. This is clearly demonstrated in their venture, "The Valtari Mystery Film Experiment."

In this distinctive project, they enlisted twelve filmmakers to produce individual music videos for each song on their album. These filmmakers were given a modest budget and absolute creative liberty, with no specific directives or constraints. This approach has led to a wide array of artistic interpretations of their music, each mirroring the unique perspective of its creator.

Adding to the innovation, Sigur Rós extended an invitation to their fans and the wider public, encouraging anyone interested to submit their own video. The band will chose one of these fan-made videos to be officially incorporated into the "Valtari Mystery Film Experiment" series. This offers a rare opportunity for budding artists to have their work displayed alongside that of established filmmakers.

This project is a testament to Sigur Rós's commitment to exploring the potential of music and digital artistry. It's a unique opportunity to witness the band's music through a variety of creative lenses, and a testament to their dedication to pushing the boundaries of artistic expression.
