SPECIAL EVENT
SCREAMING MASTERPIECE (12A)
Gargandi Snillol
Saturday 19th November, 8:30pm, Tyneside Cinema
Monday 21st November, 1:55pm, Tyneside Cinema
An inspirational look at Iceland’s passion for music and how their unique combination of long dark nights, alcohol, a sense of community and self-belief is producing some of the most important and influential musicians in the world. From a population no bigger than Newcastle's, Iceland has given us the ever-brilliant Björk, band-on-the-international-rise Sigur Rós and a thriving jazz, folk, rock and classical music scene.
With lots of footage of live gigs punctuated with informal and informed interviews with everyone from Bjork to the country's head pagan (Iceland is one of two countries that was not touched by Christianity) this film is the perfect opportunity to see some of the leading lights of modern music at their most comfortable.
