SCREAMING MASTERPIECE International Documentary Competition

One thousand years of history, Vikings, poetry and dirges, and the whisper that echoes through the stirring and severe snow-covered rocky coast-this is the music of Iceland. A sound and style that is uniquely ancient and modern.

There’s much more to the Icelandic music scene than its internationally famous swan-clad fairy of modern rock (Bjork). SCREAMING MASTERPIECE chronicles the music’s deeply rooted connection to the land of stork contrasts, where the depth of their collective work comes from the experimental nature of their creative process-recording in and incorporating rare instruments. With more than 90 music schools and only 900,000 residents, nearly everyone under 30 is in a bond. Featuring Bjork, Sigur Ros, Bong Gang, Mugison, Minus and Slow Blow among others, the vast cross section of the new and old generation explodes on the screen.

With interviews past and present, live performances and the breathtaking landscape that inspires it all, this is one doc that truly rocks!
