Bjork's Nattura-Summer 2008 documentary is available on iTunes.

The documentary, about using alternative energy means like aluminum smelters to control natural energy in Iceland, was shot last summer with director Charlie Lightening (Feeder, Cooper Temple Clause). It features commentary from many prominent Icelandic figures, including Bjork.

"It is now more important than ever to emphasize a respect for nature," Bjork said about the documentary, according to thetripwire.com. "I believe that profits, technological advances and working together with nature can all go hand in hand. None need to be sacrificed at the expense of others."

All proceeds from the film will be donated to the Nattura Foundation, which works to provide Iceland with eco-friendly energy alternatives.

Bjork released a single called "Nattura" in October, and all proceeds from its sales are also being donated to the Nattura Foundation. The single features Radiohead's Thom Yorke, and you can hear it below:

Bjork is working on a CD/DVD package called Voltaic that documents her shows in support of 2007's Volta. The four-disc box set will include a live CD and another disc of remixes of tracks from Volta, a DVD featuring shows recorded in Paris, France and Reykjavik, Iceland, and a DVD with videos for Volta's singles. It will be released overseas on March 24, but it's not known if it will be available in North America as a domestic release.
