INSPIRATION: Sigríður Níelsdóttir

At the age of 70 Sigríður Níelsdóttir began making & recording her own music, using her kitchen as her studio, sampling the waterfall of her kitchen sink to old cassettes from the local library. 

The joy for sounds & music, the lust and the diligence of her work truly inspires and there is no wonder why she has influenced so many icelandic musicians. 

In seven years Sigríður Níelsdóttir recorded and released 59 records and over 600 songs.

The documentary film Grandma Lo-Fi invites you to her world & leave you utterly inspired. 

PLAY at CPH:DOX

Tomorrow is the first day of Copenhagen's 11 days long documentary film festival CPH:DOX 2011.

This weekend I am especially curious about Ruben Östlund's new film PLAY, that premiered earlier this year.

The format is called dramatised re-enactment & is based on a series of events of severe gang-bullying that happened in Gothenburg a couple of years ago.

Östlund is also coming for a masterclass on The National Film School of Denmark on Saturday to talk about his work-methods & the swedish welfare-reality.

CPH:DOX also features short films, audio-visual works, a collaboration with the National Gallery of Denmark as well as a special theme called Food on Film.
