25 ans après avoir marqué le Festival de Cannes avec Dancer in the Dark, pour lequel elle avait reçu le prix d’interprétation féminine, Björk revient sur la Croisette.
Cette année, son film Cornucopia sera projeté dans le cadre de la 10e édition de la Positive Cinema Week / Cinéma Positif, et elle recevra le Humann Impact Prize en reconnaissance de son engagement artistique et environnemental exceptionnel.
i am so honoured to be receiving this prize . and thrilled about showing Cornucopia in Cannes . i would like to thank the hundreds of people that took part in it . sublimely grateful to every single one of them .
i feel the modern concert film is a matriarchially friendly construct , welcomed in the current climate . where female musicians can share their worlds uncorrupted . i spent last decade working with 360-degree sound and visual software in virtual reality and animation, my intention was to bring what we had created for 21st-century VR into a 19th-century theatre - taking it from the headset to the stage . this vision was realised with 27 moving curtains that captured projections on different textures and LED screens , creating a digitally animated show : a "modern lanterna magica" for live music .
throughout this tale, there is a subplot woven in : a second story of an avatar—a modern marionette who alchemically mutates , from puppet to puppet , from the injury of a heart wound to a fully healed state .
i hope you enjoy it .
warmthness ,björk
