May 7 2025—The highly anticipated concert film Björk: Cornucopia is in cinemas worldwide today—watch the trailer HERE and get tickets HERE. This visually stunning experience is for a limited time only, distributed by Trafalgar Releasing.
Björk will be receiving the Humann Impact Prize in Cannes, and Cornucopia will be shown as part of the 10th edition of Positive Cinema Week / Cinéma Positif at Cinéum Cannes on May 22 at 8PM.
Björk shares:
“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: CORNUCOPIA SYNOPSIS
Björk: Cornucopia, the highly anticipated concert film recorded live in Lisbon, captures the celebrated artist’s groundbreaking tour that mesmerised audiences worldwide for five years.
This unique cinematic experience immerses viewers in Björk’s spectacular stage production, featuring a setlist spanning her iconic early works to the visionary Utopia (2017) and Fossora (2023). The production showcases bespoke instruments, including a magnetic harp, a circular flute, an aluphone, and a reverb chamber, and Björk is furthermore joined on stage by musical director and multi-instrumentalist Bergur Þórisson, percussionist Manu Delago, flute septet Viibra, harpist Katie Buckley and the Hamrahlid choir. Digitally animated moving curtains create a modern lanterna magica for live music, transforming 21st-century VR visuals into the grandeur of a 19th-century theatre — and now into an immersive cinema experience, enhanced by meticulously crafted Dolby Atmos spatial audio.
Directed by Ísold Uggadóttir, the film features sound and visual creative direction, music arrangements, production, and performance by Björk. It showcases the work of James Merry as co-creative director of visuals, and original animation by Tobias Gremmler – with additional contributions from Andrew Thomas Huang, Gabríela Friðriksdóttir, Pierre-Alain Giraud, Nick Knight, and Warren Du Preez & Nick Thornton-Jones.
Cornucopia sees Björk pushing the boundaries of live performance, offering a visually and sonically immersive experience unlike anything seen before.
