Cornucopia (film)
2025 documentary concert film
Cornucopia is a 2025 documentary concert film by Björk based on the eponymous concert tour (2019–2023), which debuted as a residency at The Shed in New York City before traveling the world and concluding four years later. Conceived around songs from her ninth studio album Utopia (2017), the setlist also includes songs from Vulnicura (2015) and Fossora (2022).
The film chronicles a performance of the show at the Altice Arena in Lisbon, Portugal, directed by Icelandic filmmaker Ísold Uggadóttir, with Björk billed as "sound and visual director". The movie overlays the performances with the visuals that were projected on the screens on the background of the live setting, which were created by German artist Tobias Gremmler and several others, including Andrew Thomas Huang, Gabríela Friðriksdóttir, Warren Du Preez and Nick Thornton Jones.
A shortened version of the movie was released on Apple Music and Apple TV+ on 24 January 2025. The full-length theatrical version of the film premiered at the Smárabíó cinema in Iceland on 1 February 2025, and it was released worldwide on 7 May 2025.
Background
Following the release of Vulnicura in 2015, an album that delved into themes of heartbreak and emotional healing, written during and after the end of her relationship with American artist Matthew Barney, Björk recorded her ninth studio album Utopia, which was released in 2017. Björk likened the writing of Utopia to "paradise" as opposed to Vulnicura being like "hell". To promote Utopia, Björk embarked on a concert tour in 2018, known as the Utopia tour. The shows featured the 7-piece Icelandic flute ensemble Viibra, American harpist Katie Buckley, a percussion section played by Austrian musician Manu Delago, with electronics and musical direction by Bergur Þórisson.

Why this record matters
“Cornucopia (film)” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Cornucopia, film and documentary provides the most credible route into that argument.
Attribution, date and provenance are strongest when supported by the original work, a catalogue record and documented transmission. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 19, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q131872926. 1 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2025, 2019, 2023 and 2017.
Rights, attribution and provenance may remain disputed even when a general reference summary presents a stable account. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
