Synopsis

“Við Spilum Endalaust” is Icelandic for “We play endlessly,” and touring with the band feels exactly like that. After the epic *Heima*, the band wanted something more intimate and more like a holiday home movie to record what it is to be Sigur Rós. Director Nicholas Abrahams decided to create a film poem, rather than a documentary, and chose to shoot on Super 8 film, later developing all the footage himself by hand. This gave him the opportunity to mix volcanic ashes from Iceland into the chemicals, creating spontaneous textures and rhythms in the film that constantly threaten to destroy the image. What emerges is a dream of life on the road...
