Icelandic Cinema
Iceland’s beauty is almost surreal, and the perfect
backdrop for any type of film. It has attracted many foreign and local
filmmakers through the years. Icelandic cinema can be principally defined by
its diversity, yet the contrast between traditional and modern Iceland, the
past and present, has been a central theme throughout its history.

Iceland has a notable cinema film industry, with many
Icelandic actors having gone on to receive international attention. The most
famous film, and the only one to be nominated for the Academy Award and
European Film Awards, is Börn náttúrunnar (Children of Nature), directed by
Friðrik Þór Friðriksson. This film brought Icelandic cinema to the
international scene, which has since grown to its height, with films such as
Nói Albínói (Noi the Albino) by Dagur Kári, heralded as descendants of the
Icelandic film tradition.
Icelandic filmmakers are industrious and creative, and
have made Icelandic cinema an important part of both Icelandic culture and the
Icelandic economy. The film industry is thriving and produces several films
each year. Iceland's scenic landscape is also a popular location for shooting
big budget Hollywood productions, such as Die Another Day, Journey to the
Centre of the Earth, Batman Begins and Flags of our Fathers. Icelandic
authorities also provide a generous refund policy on production costs for
foreign film makers. The Film in Iceland agency helps foreign film companies
who are looking to shoot in the country.
The oldest preserved film is a three-minute documentary by
the Dane Alfred Lind, dating from 1906, and in 1919 Gunnar Sommerfeldt directed
his adaptation of the Icelandic author Gunnar Gunnarsson's The Story of the
Borg Family (1920), the first feature film to be shot in Iceland. Though few
and far between, there were a number of Icelandic filmmakers working prior to 1980.
Perhaps chief amongst them was Loftur Gudmundsson, whose short farce The Adventures
of Jon and Gvendur (1923) is the first altogether Icelandic fiction film. His subsequent
Between Mountain and Shore (1949) has the distinction of being the first
official Icelandic feature film.
The Icelandic director Baltasar Kormákur also directed 101
Reykjavík, Hafið (The Sea), A Little Trip to Heaven (starring Julia Stiles and
Forest Whitaker), and Mýrin (Jar City).
The annual Edda Awards are the national film awards of
Iceland.
