 In the endless magic hour of 2007’s Icelandic summer, Sigur Rós played a series of concerts around their homeland, free to all-comers and went largely unannounced. Playing in deserted fish factories, outsider art follies, far-flung community halls, sylvan fields and darkened caves the band reached an entirely new spectrum of the Icelandic population; young and old, ardent and merely quizzical, entirely by word-of-mouth. Shot using a largely Icelandic crew (to minimise Eurovision-style scenic-wonder overload), ‘Heima’ - which means both “at home” and “homeland” - provides a unique insight into one of the world’s shyest and least understood bands captured live in their natural habitat.
