Presenting Heild, your last minute Xmas present

Out now on DVD and on-demand, Heild offers some amazing visions of Iceland unlike most of what you’ve seen before, all set to a fairly stunning soundtrack. The film was shot over a grueling thirty month period by filmmaker Pétur Kristján Guðmundsson, who set upon the task of making Iceland’s first full-length non-narrative motion picture while recovering from a tragic accident that left him paralyzed below the waist. Inspiring stuff, all of it.

Check out the trailer below, along with some glorious stills even further below.
