Grandma Lo-fi

Grandma Lo-fi: The Basement Tapes of Sigrídur Níelsdóttir - Orri Jónsson, Kristín Björk Kristjánsdóttir, Ingibjörg Birgisdóttir

At the tender age of 70 she started recording and releasing her own music straight from the living room. 7 years later she had 59 albums to her name with more than 600 songs - an eccentric myriad of catchy compositions mixing in her pets, found toys, kitchen percussions and Casio keyboards. Sigrídur Níelsdóttir is her name, and before long the Icelandic/Danish musician became an adored cult figure in the Icelandic music scene. Shot mostly on Super-8 and 16mm, 'Grandma Lo-fi' is a cinematic tribute to her boundless creativity, created by three musicians and artists whom she inspired. (2011, ICE/DE, 62 min)
