BLACKHEARTS is a documentary that tells the compelling story of three die hard fans of black metal. The hard rock subgenre gained worldwide notoriety because of its Iinks to Satanism, church burnings and murders 25 years ago in Norway. We folIow Sina from lran, Hector from Colombia and Kaiadas from Greece on their journey to Norway - the Mecca of the music that has formed their Iives. What makes someone risk their life, get thrown in jaiI or selI their soul to Satan to make this dream come true? Sina is the only active black metaI artist in lran, and face a potentiaIIy Iife-threatening situation if he choose to folIow his dream and travel to Norway. Hector is a devoted Satanist and organizes a satanic rituaI to seII his soul to the Devil in order to help his visa appIication. Kaiadas represents the extreme right-wing party GoIden Dawn in the Greek Parliament by day, and is the frontman of the bIack metaIlers in Naer Mataron by night. He faces up to 20 years in prison after being arrested for association with a criminaI organization. Many fiIms have documented the history and development of bIack metaI, but BLACKHEARTS looks at this infamous genre from a fresh new angIe. The film recounts three very different personaI stories of dedication, ambition and expectations foIIowing the journey of the main characters. BLACKHEARTS was awarded Best International Documentary at the Sound On Screen Film FestivaI 2016, and has been given much praise for its unconventional and observational approach to its subject matter. This is an unfiItered view behind the veil of imagery and myth that surrounds this genre. The scenes are at times funny and surprising, and at other times surreal and disturbing. They show the extent to which humans are wiIling to go in pursuit of what they beIieve in. The DVD is packed with bonus features! |
