Icelandic band Sigur Ros created a project they call The Valtari Mystery Film Experiment in which they gave 10 filmmakers the same modest budget and asked them to come up with whatever they wanted. Films are released on their website every 2 weeks and so far 3 have been completed.
"We never meant our music to come with a pre-programmed emotional response. We don’t want to tell anyone how to feel and what to take from it. With the films, we have literally no idea what the directors are going to come back with. none of them know what the others are doing, so hopefully it could be interesting."
The latest video that came out last week was directed by Alma Har'el, entitled "Fjögur píanó" and features Shia Labeouf's penis... eh, I mean ... Shia Labeouf. It is actually an interesting video but the penis is what seems to have caught everyones attention. The video is emo and modern dance-ish but shot very well. Its hard to fault a video for being over the top emotional when the band and music in question is so successful at evoking emotion. I look forward to the rest of the releases.... with penises or no.
