Thursday, April 12, see's the return of the Package Deals screening series to New York's Scandinavia House: Cold Hearts Revisited: Short Film and Music Videos from Iceland.
In this era of MTV Networks (with few music videos) and YouTube (fuzzy quality videos), it's a treat to watch cutting-edge and rarely-seen music promos and short films in a screening room with a beer vodka and friends. April's installment sees a return to the Icelandic event of late last year, adding a few new shorts, some to be shown in the U.S. for the first time.
Bands/Artists showing videos include Sigur Ros, Apparat Organ Quartet, Bang Gang, Egill Sæbjörnsson, Erla Haraldsdóttir, and features premieres from Reynir Lyngdal, Unnur Andrea Einarsdóttir (above, middle), Seabear, Trabant (above, right), and Gus Gus.
And yes, that is a man playing a piano made of toast.
