And Breathe Normally will be screened under the theme Borders & Boundaries from March 2 - 4 for the US and Canada. Registration is now open.
Two women's lives will intersect while trapped in circumstances unforeseen. Between a struggling Icelandic mother and an asylum seeker from Guinea-Bissau, a delicate bond will form as both strategize to get their lives back on track.
Q&A with Ísold Uggadóttir and panel discussion (How do filmmakers influence physical, geographical, and emotional boundaries?) will be held on March 3 and is open for everyone. Icelandic film editor Elísabet Ronaldsdóttir and Icelandic actress Kristín Thóra Haraldsdóttir will be among speakers in week 5. See the conversation here:
