TEN GUEST FILMMAKERS CREATE MUSIC VIDEOS FOR NEW ALBUM
Sigur Rós have announced the ÁTTA film experiment: ten music videos – one for each track of their acclaimed new album – all created by different directors without rules or boundaries.
The band have invited ten filmmakers to explore their own visual interpretation of a track on ÁTTA. Refreshing and diverse in outcome, this experiment in creative freedom led to ten entirely different videos, and in turn, will platform a range of creators from a range of backgrounds.

Klettur – Directed by Frosti Jón Runólfsson
“You’re traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination…” – Frosti Jón Runólfsson
Fall – Directed by Katya Gimro
“I toured with Sigur Rós across the US in 2022. Everywhere we went, it was so beautiful to see the pure emotion of the audience. It was amazing how music influenced people’s feelings and brought catharsis.” —Katya Gimro
Skel – Directed by George Jasper Stone
“Skel connected to emotions of vulnerability within the context of the crisis. I wanted to capture the transition between these two virtual spaces, experiencing a sense of chaos and instability.”
Glóð – Directed by Claudia Hausfeld and Rúnar Rúnarsson
Mór – Directed by Glenn Leyburn & Lisa Barros D’Sa
“The ball I threw while playing in the park, Has not yet reached the ground.” – Dylan Thomas
Ylur – Directed by Sophie Hunter
“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life” – Mary Oliver
8 – Directed by Rúrí
“Among the many gems of the album ÁTTA, it was the song ‘8’ that captivated me. It immediately connected not only to the present, but also to infinity. Catharsis – soft, melancholic, powerful and uplifting.” – Rúrí
Blóðberg – Directed by Johan Renck
“I feel as nihinistic as one could regarding the future. We are powerless againts our own stupidities. Some aspects of this came to merge with my impressions of the themes of Blóðberg. The music becoming a score to my own miserable thoughts, giving them beauty as only music can.” – Johan Renck.
Andrá – Directed by Katya Gimro X Alexey Krupnik
“I wished to show how Sigur Rós is the soundtrack of our lives through happiness, pain, hope, grief, and love. The short documentary, Andrá, celebrates the way in which Sigur Rós captures and channels the humanity that unites us all” – Katya Gimro.
Gold – Directed by Rene van Pannevis
“The track Gold has a rhythm of the tide. It ebbs and flows. Like a brush stroke moving up and down. It’s inspired by the push and pull in a relationship. The happiness and the sadness. ” – Rene van Pannevis
