Curated by Sabine Schirdewahn and Matthias Wagner KThe Iceland::Film exhibition traces for the first time the development of Icelandic filmmaking from its origins around 1904 to the year 2008. 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. Designed in terms of a public archive, the exhibition provides a comprehensive overview of Icelandic filmmaking and thus Iceland’s social and cultural history over the past 100 years.
