[quote]Screaming Masterpiece asks the question: why is the small Icelandic community is so music mad? Is it the isolation or 'the long nights with nothing to do but drink' as is implied? With interviews with native musicians from Björk, Sigur Rós and Múm, to stories of the teenage band Nilfisk who end up opening for the Foo Fighters when they visit the island. A captivating documentary about the contemporary music scene in this unique island culture.[/quote]
FIPRESCI
[quote="Iceland - The Heat Is On by Miguel Somsen, en FIPRESCI,"]Icelandic director Ari Alex Magnusson rushed his movie Screaming Masterpiece (Gargandi Snilld) from the editing room directly to the 28 th Göteborg Film Festival for an exclusive jury screening. There had been no time to apply subtitles to the movie, so we had to follow it with a live translation in the room. It seemed quite inappropriate or even difficult for our small audience, but it made perfect sense - a live experience to warm up our chilly morning. A very exciting documentary about the contemporary music scene in Iceland, Screaming Masterpiece 's subjects utter lines like, "Music is the ultimate art form," and "Music goes past the brain and cuts through the heart."
It helps if you are a music buff. Or if you like the sort of music these modern Icelanders are performing today. Sigur Rós and Björk have taken the world by storm, and there are a few other bands jumping into the bandwagon. That's where the musicians Múm or Mugison come in - each of them developing a unique taste for melody and folklore. "I was going to work in a chocolate factory when we formed the band," remembers Múm in the film. The rest is history.
Then there's the fabulous story of Nilfisk, a teenage rock band from the outskirts of Reykjavik, who were fortunate enough to share dinner with the great American band The Foo Fighters on the eve of their first concert. Nilfisk ended up opening for Dave Grohl's act with the local audience cheering for them - this lucky, yet unimpressed band. Is this the stuff dreams are made of? Yes, if you plan to go worldwide. But the talent is here, waiting to expand.
You don't need to go any further. Iceland is a new nation of only sixty years. Although their independence dates as far as the eleven-hundreds, only in the 20 th century did the Danes grant Iceland their independence. Subsequently, these new bands' members are just short of adolescence too. "So what you have is screaming patriotism with heavy doses of adolescence," says Björk. "When my generation came along we started to ask ourselves what it meant to be Icelandic and how to be proud of it instead of feeling guilty all the time."
Guilt has nothing to do with it. One way of coping with the system, as our witnesses report, is of keeping ambitions small so that the pressure will always be bearable. In the same way, this allows bands to be cool and laid-back about everything in life, epecially their music.
Screaming Masterpiece will go further than most of the bands it portrays. It started touring in Göteborg, and will, inevitably, claim the rest of the world soon. Of course "there's no plan except to enjoy the ride." One has to start somewhere and it started right here. Now all we need is to get the soundtrack![/quote]

Se trata de un interesante documental sobre la importancia de la música en Islandia. Aparecen músicos islandeses conocidos en todo el mundo como Björk, Sigur Rós, Mínus, etc.
El único pero es que está en V.O. con subtítulos incrustados en sueco
pero la música prima sobre los testimonios de los artistas. Por contra, no sé qué tipo de conexión tendrán en Islandia, pero el archivo baja con una rapidez sorprendente, más que si estuviera verycedeao 
Como lo encontré en la mula y lo creí interesante, me ha parecido oportuno compartir el enlace por aquí
Saludos.
. Pero Sigur Ros, al menos en su segundo disco no cantan en "nada".
