KITCHEN BY MEASURE wins the Shortfish at Stockfish Film Festival
The Icelandic short film Kitchen By Measure by Atli Arnarsson and Sólrún Ylfa Ingimarsdóttir is the winner of this year's Shortfish, Stockfish Film Festival's short film competition. The film Spaghetti by Egill Gauti Sigurjónsson and Nikulás Tumi Hlynsson received a special mention.
Stockfish Film Festival took place from May 20 - 30 and the panel of judges were as follows: Marina Richter journalist and renowned film critic, Tinna Hrafnsdóttir actress and director, and Grímur Hákonarson writer and film director. All where in agreement that the films where particularly good quality this year and all the films had something special to offer which made it quite hard to come to a conclusion who should be the winner.
Atli and Sólrún recieve a Shortfish artifact designed by Marsibil Kristjánsdóttir and Róbert Kristjánsson and 1.000.000 ISK from Kukl which will be great help in furthering their future film projects.
Statement of the Jury for Kitchen By Measure:
"Catching the spirit of a classic has never been an easy task: sticking to the core of the narrative, and yet giving the film a special touch that will make it unique and memorable. Technically impeccable through the filigrane work on the tiniest details, nicely shot and framed, this is a work that also impresses by the subtext of the story – through humor and wit. The main Jury award goes to “Kitchen by Measure” directed by Atli Arnarsson and Sólrún Ylfa Ingimarsdóttir."
Special mention: Spaghetti
"An unconventional thriller from the underbelly of Kópavogur City, full of life and joy and creative energy. The directors break nearly every cinematic rule although in a very neat way creating an unforgettable viewing experience. For this reason the Jury gives Special Mention to Spaghetti by Nikulás Tumi Hlynsson and Egill Gauti Sigurjónsson."
