Wikipedia article
'Heima' (; 'at home') is a documentary film and double DVD set about the tour around Iceland in the summer of 2006 of the band Sigur Rs. During the tour the band played two big open-air concerts at Miklatn - Reykjavk (30 July) and sbyrgi (4 August), as well as small scale concerts at lafsvk (24 July), safjrur (26 July), Djpavk (27 July), Hls, xnadalur (28 July) and Seyisfjrur (3 August). In addition, a protest concert against the Krahnjkar dam was performed at Snfellsskla (3 August). The documentary also includes footage of an acoustic concert played for family and friends at Gamla Borg, a coffee shop in the small town Borg, on 22 April 2007.
The documentary premiered in Iceland at the Reykjavk International Film Festival opening day, 27 September 2007. 'Heima' was released 5 November 2007 (4 December in North America) in two editions, one including atmospheric photos in a photobook documenting the tour. It has since then become a cult film. In December 2007, American webzine 'Somewhere Cold' voted 'Heima' DVD of the Year on their '2007 Somewhere Cold Awards Hall of Fame'.
The DVD has sold 5,000 copies in Canada earning it a Gold Award under the Video Certifications.[http://www.cria.ca/gold/0208_g.php Canadian Recording Industry Association (CRIA): Gold & Platinum - January 2005] And it was certified Platinum for 100,000 copies in America.
On May 27, 2011 the band released an official HD-quality version of Heima on their website, available as digital download in QuickTime format.
