As part of the month long "On ne sais jamais" series curated by Lisa Kirk at Monkey Town, "Cold Hearts" invites you to view some of the best artist films and music videos Iceland has to offer. Featuring line drawings come alive, macabre stop animation, the secret life of moss, bunny suits, exploding dictaphones, women who live on clouds, Outkast ballads, and some very creative uses for whipped cream, "Cold Hearts" represents the whimsical Icelandic imagination. 24 artist films and music videos cover expansive aesthetic ground. From sunny Barcelona to art school in Los Angeles to the craggy vistas of Skagafjordur in northern Iceland, these young artists explore their native and adopted worlds in inventive ways. Intrinsically dark and aloof, yet also refreshingly honest, "Cold Hearts" is a glimpse into the curious cultural landscape of Iceland now. From the fantastical, sometimes disturbing artist films of Unnar Andrea Einarsdottir to the otherworldly output created by bands such as Mum and Apparat Organ Quartet, the Icelandic aesthetic is as strange and beautiful as it is overlooked.
Featuring films by: Kristin Helga Karadottir, Kyja Kristjansson-Nelson, Lars Skjelbreia, Hlynur Magnusson, Berglind Agustsdottir, Malin Stahl, Eyrun Eyjolfsdottir, Hulda Ros Gudnadottir, Bjargey Olafsdottir, Unnur Andrea Einarsdottir, Ragnar Bragason and Bardi Johannsson, and Kira Kira
And videos by: Apparat Organ Quartet (dir: Magnus Helgason), My Summer as a Salvation Solider (dir: Elvar Gunnarsson), Mum (dirs: Semiconductor and Marc Craste), Maus (dir: Elvar Gunnarsson), Gus Gus (dirs: Stefan Arni & Siggi Kjartansson), Ulpa (dir: Dogg Mosesdottir), Sigur Ros (dir: Agust Jacobsson), and Bang Gang (dir: Ragnar Bragason).
After its premiere at Monkey Town, Cold Hearts will travel to screening venues across the US and internationally. For booking information, please email info@packagedeals.org.
