Description: The ICELAND::FILM exhibition traces for the first time the development of Icelandic filmmaking from its origins around 1904 to the year 2009.

Icelandic filmmaking reflects the role generally played by art – to mirror sociocultural evolution and serve as a platform where questions are asked and experiments made. The opposition between myths and modernity, and traditions and globalisation, is a frequent theme of Icelandic films in all categories. Specially assembled film excerpts give insight into the atmosphere and theme of significant films. On four “film islands”, one for each genre; feature film, documentary, short film and literature adaptation, a total of approximately 100 films can be selected and viewed in full length.
