a film by baldvin z & ólafur arnalds
island songs is a unique audio-visual portrait of my home country, iceland. in 2016 i travelled to seven towns across iceland and collaborated with seven local artists to create, record and perform a new composition. for seven weeks we released a brand new song and live video every monday. alongside the performances we made this film, island songs, where we explore what makes these artists tick, the influence the country has had on their lives and try to show a different side of this island we all call home. ólafur arnalds
