COP SECRET nominated for European Film Awards
Cop Secret, by Icelandic director Hannes Thór Halldórsson, has been nominated as the best comedy at the European Film Awards.

Cop Secret is Hannes Thór Halldórsson‘s debut feature. The film had its world premiere in the main competitive section at Locarno Film Festival 2021. After the premiere the cast and crew in attendance were treated to a standing ovation.
