ICELANDIC FILMS FEATURE IN NORTH-ATLANTIC FILMFEST
The Nordatlantes Brygge cultural center in Copenhagen will host its sixth annual film festival between the dates of February 5th and 26th where selected features, shorts and documentaries from Iceland, Greenland and the Faroe Islands will be screened.
The festival‘s opening film is the Icelandic Dansinn from 1998, directed by Agust Gudmundsson. Fittingly, the film is based on a story by Faroese writer William Heinesen.
Icelandic director Runar Runarsson will be present at a screening of his two short films The Last Farm and 2 Birds on the 12th of February, and a week later, on February 19th, a screening of Fridrik Thor Fridriksson‘s 1996 feature film Devil‘s Island will be preceded by an introduction by Birgir Thor Møller, the festival‘s co-ordinator
