Heima (isl. "At home" ) is a music documentary by the Icelandic band Sigur Rós . It premiered on September 27, 2007 at the Reykjavík International Film Festival and was released on DVD in early November 2007.
content
The documentary shows the band on their mini-tour of eight free, unannounced concerts in different locations in Iceland, which took place in late July and early August 2006. The film combines live recordings by the band with images of Icelandic nature and people. In between the individual pieces, interviews with the band members and guest musicians as well as archive recordings were embedded.
Most of the pieces are only alluded to in the film, but are fully contained on a second DVD. Six of the pieces have also appeared on the double EP Hvarf-Heim .
