Sigur Rós presents INNI

World Premiere alla Giornata degli Autori – Venice Days per il film INNI di Vincent Morisset, il regista franco-canadese che ha già collaborato con gli Arcade Fire e che sta lavorando attualmente anche con la band Godspeed You Black Emperor.

I Sigur Rós conclusero il tour del 2008 presso l'Alexandra Palace di Londra con due date, il 20 e il 21 novembre.
In quella occasione, Vincent Morisset ha girato il suo nuovo film INNI, utilizzando telecamere fisse e 5 cameramen per raccogliere in 75 minuti i momenti più appassionanti di queste due serate.

INNI raccoglie, oltre alle scene del concerto, anche alcuni spezzoni, a tratti esilaranti, di interviste o episodi risalenti al 1998, "raccontati" con una carica emozionale notevole, tra particolari del set, immagini della band e riprese abbaglianti.

Quando andai a Londra, nel 2008, incontrai la band prima del concerto in un'atmosfera di festa, in occasione del compleanno del loro tour manager, John Best. Non riuscii però a godermi il concerto come speravo, forse a causa delle dimensioni troppo vaste del locale.
Rivedere l'intera serata attraverso il film, invece, è stata una esperienza quasi toccante. Sapevo di ripescare nella mente immagini già viste ma l'impatto scenico del film è stato portentoso: nelle sequenze del lavoro di Morisset si respirano sentimenti e fatica, ci si sente tutti immensamente partecipi.
Il regista ha utilizzato anche le immagini che provenivano dalla sala di controllo del locale, una dozzina di monitor con track ball per ingrandire le immagini pubblico in sala (le telecamere erano posizionate lungo l'intero soffitto dell'Alexandra Palace). Un lavoro di precisione struggente.

INNI – the definitive Sigur Rós live experience – composto da un doppio album dal vivo e 75 minuti di pellicola, uscirà a Novembre 2011
Per la ricerca dei clip si sono occupati Björn Erlingur Flóki Björnsson e Darren Webb del sito ufficiale della band www.sigur-ros.co.uk (le immagini del concerto sono in B/N mentre i vari clip sono a colori).
La setlist, non in ordine di esecuzione, prevede i seguenti brani: Svefn-G-Englar - Ný Batterí - Fljótavík - Inní Mér Syngur Vitleysingur - E-Bow - Sæglópur - Festival - Popplagið - Duet - Untitled.

Sono intervenuti per la première: Georg Holm, Kjartan Sveinsson, Orri Pall Dyrason, John Best, Vincent Morisset.
Assente il cantante Jon Thor Birgirsson (Jonsi), che in questi giorni si trova a Los Angeles, dove sta lavorando alla composizione della colonna sonora per il film “We Bought a Zoo” di Cameron Crowe, in uscita negli USA alla fine dell'anno.

Alla fine della proiezione c'è stato un incontro con la band, che ha risposto alle domande del pubblico. (Rocco Bettua)
 

Sigur Rós presents INNI

World Premiere of the Day Authors - Venice Days INNI for the film by Vincent Morisset, the French-Canadian director who has worked with Arcade Fire and is currently working with the band Godspeed You Black Emperor.

The Sigur Rós concluded the 2008 tour at the Alexandra Palace in London with two dates, on 20 and 21 November.
On that occasion, Vincent Morisset shot his new film INNI, using fixed cameras and 5 cameraman in 75 minutes to collect the most exciting moments of these two nights.

INNI collects, in addition to the scenes of the concert, including excerpts, sometimes hilarious, or episodes of interviews dating back to 1998, "told" with a high emotional charge, including details of the set, and beam shots.

When I went to London in 2008, I met the band before the concert in an atmosphere of celebration on the occasion of the birthday of their tour manager, John Best. I could not, however, enjoy the concert as I wished, perhaps because of the large size of the room.
reviewing the whole evening through the film, however, was an almost touching experience. I knew that I would remember the images already present in the mind, but the visual impact of the film was prodigious: in the sequences of Morisset's work you can live the feelings and efforts, so what we all feel immensely involved.
The director also used the images that came from the local security control room, using a dozen monitored track balls, to enlarge the images of the audience (the cameras were positioned along the entire ceiling at Alexandra Palace). An absolutely heartbreaking work of precision.

INNI - the definitive Sigur Rós live experience - composed by a double live album and a 75-minute film, released in November 2011.
Björn Erlingur Flóki Björnsson and Darren Webb have dealt with the research for the clips -  official site www.sigur-ros.co.uk (Some pictures of the concert are in B / W while the various clips are in color).
The setlist, not in order of execution, includes the following tracks: Svefn-G-Englar - NY Batteri - Fljótavík - Inni Mer Syngur Vitleysingur - E-Bow - Sæglópur - Festivals - Popplagið - Duet - Untitled.

Speakers for the premiere: Georg Holm, Kjartan Sveinsson, Orri Páll Dýrason, John Best, Vincent Morisset.
Absent the singer Jón Þór Birgisson (Jónsi), who is located in Los Angeles these days, where he is working on the soundtrack for Cameron Crowe's new film “We Bought a Zoo”, due out in the U.S. at the end of the year.

At the end of the screening there was a meeting with the band, which answered questions from the audience. (Rocco Bettua)

synopsis:
INNI is Sigur Rós's second live film following 2007's hugely-celebrated “Heima”. Whereas that film positioned the enigmatic group in the context of their Icelandic homeland, providing geographical, social and historical perspectives on their otherworldly music, with uplifting results, “Inni” focusses purely on the band's performance, which is artfully and intimately captured by French-Canadian director Vincent Morisset (Arcade Fire's “Miroir Noir”). Interweaving archive material from the band's first ten years with the sometimes gossamer light, sometimes punishingly intense, concert footage, “Inni” is a persuasive account of one of the most celebrated and influential rock bands of recent years. “INNI is the intimate in the middle of a big stage. It's the abstraction of the gestures and the magnification of delightful details. It's a tribute to the unique energy of Sigur Rós. INNI leaves room to all the beautiful images that come to our minds when we listen to their music.” (Vincent Morisset)
