COSMOS Embassy Film: Seyðisfjörður, Iceland

Seydisfjordur Community Radio is a shared digital and analogue broadcasting platform located in the village of Seyðisfjörður on the east-coast of Iceland - hosted, nurtured and initiated by an open-ended international community inhabiting various conditions and positions, often somewhat distributed in various locations on the planetary surface. From these places and times they share, they inquire and they keep in touch - over the radio. “We send. We listen. We send. We listen”. The community of listeners and broadcasters morphs and changes with time.
The Embassy Film was created in collaboration with Seyðisfjörður-based filmmaker Austin Thomasson, and is best described as a sonic cosmos lost in visual haze. It consists of archival footage collected from the extended Seyðisfjörður community, private documentation of exhibitions, performances, festivals and concerts, but also homemovies, dinners, and much more. The raw imagery is edited together with performative and immersive elements into a montage that serves as a humble cartography of this magical artist refuge – and the void it resists within. “In the end, our voices will be yours”, says SCR’s Lasse Høgenhof of SCR.
