"And Breathe Normally", a feature film written and to be directed by Ísold Uggadóttir has been granted production funding from the Icelandic Film Centre. This is great news for the project, although the film's producers will continue to seek further funding to European funds over the course of the next few months.

<br />
As of November 2014, the Icelandic government has proposed a 40% slash to the local fund, prompting a strong reaction from the international film community, comdemning the move.

For the Dutch speakers out there, here is cute little piece on Iceland, including an interview with yours truly. Am not entirely sure of what it says, but it goes something like this: <br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-small;">Isold Uggadottir maakte over de verwarrende crisistijd de film Revolution Reykjavik. De prijswinnende korte speelfilm gaat over een nette dame die haar baan bij een bank verliest, maar dat niet wil accepteren, waardoor ze steeds dieper in de problemen raakt. We hebben afgesproken in een cafeetje vol retromeubels met uitzicht op de haven. De filmmaakster verschijnt op een knaloranje fiets. Net als veel IJslanders heeft ze felblauwe ogen en donker haar, wat ze toeschrijft aan de genen van de Keltische monniken die de eerste bewoners van het eiland waren.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-small;">Ik geef complimenten over de strakke organisatie van mijn bustour. Dat verbaast Isold een beetje. ‘Een bekende uitdrukking van ons is Þeta reddast, wat zoveel betekent als “het zal wel goed komen”. Die houding komt volgens mij van onze avontuurlijke voorvaders. Maar dat laconieke heeft ons voor de crisis ook in de problemen gebracht. We dachten dat we overal mee weg konden komen, maar dat was dus niet zo.’ Ten tijde van de crisis studeerde ze in New York. ‘Toen ik daar net kwam wonen, stond de IJslandse kroon belachelijk hoog. Als mijn vrienden langskwamen, shopten ze zich helemaal suf. Als Amerikanen vroegen hoe dat kon, zeiden we trots: “We hebben gewoon een heel sterke munt.” Dat geloofde ik toen ook, maar we leefden in een zeepbel. Langzaam maar zeker begon de kroon te dalen. In 2010 begon ik aan een masteropleiding voor regisseur. Op dat moment was de kroon nauwelijks meer wat waard. De crisis liep als een rode draad door mijn studie, dus het was duidelijk dat mijn afstudeerfilm daarover moest gaan.’<br /><br /><a href="http://www.vpro.nl/lees/gids/zomerserie/ijsland.html">http://www.vpro.nl/lees/gids/zomerserie/ijsland.html</a></span><br />

Few portfolio works try for nuanced and subtle performances but are in-your-face testosterone fueled action works. This film is a keeper."</span><br />

Much to our excitement, "Revolution Reykjavik" is on a list of short films that have qualified to compete for the Best Live Action Short Film at the 85th Academy Awards. Let us be clear though, that before moving forward, the film must be short-listed by the Academy. Only time (say, a few weeks or so) will tell if that actually happens. In the meantime, feel free to browse the list: <a href="http://www.imdb.com/list/ia6ec_BCC5A/">http://www.imdb.com/list/ia6ec_BCC5A/</a><br /><br />Update - December 2012: "Revolution Reykjavik" did not make onto the Academy's Shortlist -- but our friends Nick Greene and Julie Buck did -- <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/movie/salar/id536957563" target="_blank">with their amazing film "Salar."</a> We recommend you check it out!Isold Uggadottirhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17505154542520963772noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1519914944795006726.post-348668236948515122012-11-11T15:48:00.000-05:002012-11-11T15:48:12.062-05:00CLEAN invited to Helsinki, Finland<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We are overly thrilled to announce our win at the prestigious <a href="http://www.seminci.es/noticia.php?id=1303" target="_blank">Semana Internacional de Cine de Valladolid</a>, otherwise known as Seminci! The director was flown over on a few hours notice, arriving in Spain less than 24 hours after receiving the news. An awards ceremony followed, broadcast live on Spanish television, after which much cocktail-partying ensued. By 4AM she was back on route to Iceland. The shortest film festival experience ever, but perhaps the most rewarding.<br />
<br />
The Spanish media has covered the event extensively:<br /><br /><a href="http://es.paperblog.com/la-revolucion-del-dia-a-dia-en-utras-reykjavik--1534782/">http://es.paperblog.com/la-revolucion-del-dia-a-dia-en-utras-reykjavik--1534782/</a><br />

<i>Icelandic business model as presented by the shepherds leading the herd at the height of prosperity. Gudfinna, like the wounded sheep left to die in the wake of the shepherd’s abandonment, is filled with quiet anger fumed by her wounded pride, a pride irreparably damaged and shattered in the wake of the individual’s economic death. The stern pride of a woman whose generation is no stranger to economic instability and brought up to believe in the value of hard work, is erased in the first months of the recession. This symbol of the Icelandic national character is the epicentre of the film, written and directed by Ísold Uggadóttir and first premiered at the ‘Reykjavik International Film Festival’ (RIFF) in 2011. <a href="http://www.google.com/books?hl=en&lr=&id=7em2oTwjfisC&oi=fnd&pg=PP1&dq=uggadottir&ots=-gOxVKAg9U&sig=zV-x5A9B8dmhu8yQFFhrkV9wCuc" target="_blank"><b>See: World Film Locations: Reykjavik</b></a></i></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Georgia, 'Times New Roman'; line-height: 16px; text-align: justify;"><i>La directora islandesa presenta Últrás Reykjavík (Revolución Reikiavik), el drama de una mujer empleada en un banco que pierde su empleo debido a la crisis. Un cortometraje que se proyectará dentro de la Sección Oficial del festival el día 21 de octubre en el Teatro Calderón.</i></span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Lucida Sans, Lucida Sans Unicode, Georgia, Times New Roman;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"><b><i>La protagonista principal se avergüenza de su situación, ¿es un reflejo de la sociedad europea?</i></b></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Lucida Sans, Lucida Sans Unicode, Georgia, Times New Roman;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"><i><br /></i></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Georgia, 'Times New Roman'; line-height: 16px;"><i>El orgullo es una característica que tiene la mayoría de la gente, si bien es cierto que algunos más que otros. A los europeos, como a cualquier persona del mundo, les gustaría ser vistos como independientes y con éxito y por lo tanto, cuando vienen malos tiempos algunas personas eligen minimizar sus efectos en un intento por conservar su orgullo.</i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Lucida Sans, Lucida Sans Unicode, Georgia, Times New Roman;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"><b><i>¿Sería la misma película si tuviera otro trabajo?</i></b></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Georgia, 'Times New Roman'; line-height: 16px;"><i>Gudfinna, la protagonista, es un personaje que se ha dedicado en cuerpo y alma a su trabajo y al status que cree que esto le aporta. Por eso, cuando falla tanto su empresa como el partido político que apoya su visión de la vida cambia. Sin esto la historia de la película habría cogido una dirección diferente, quizás ella no hubiera trabajado en un banco.</i></span></div>

<b style="font-family: Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Georgia, 'Times New Roman'; line-height: 16px;"><i>¿Quién es el responsable de la crisis?</i></b></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Lucida Sans, Lucida Sans Unicode, Georgia, Times New Roman;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"><i><br /></i></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Georgia, 'Times New Roman'; line-height: 16px;"><i>Como es de esperar, no todo el mundo estará de acuerdo con el origen de la crisis. En mi opinión, la cosa está clara. En el caso de Islandia, y de cualquier país, es el surgimiento del capitalismo apoyado por nuestros partidos conservadores que tuvieron el poder desde 1991 hasta 2009, que lideraron la desregularización, la privatización de los bancos y, debido a un incomprensiblemente exceso, crearon una burbuja que no podía más que explotar. </i></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Georgia, 'Times New Roman'; line-height: 16px;"><i>Estoy orgulloso poder decir que los cineastas islandeses lucharon contra los recortes en el cine provocados por la crisis de 2008. Fueron capaces de demostrar que el arte y la cultura no sólo son importantes socialmente sino también económicamente. Las películas y la música no sólo crean puestos de trabajo y conciencia de país, también atraen a muchos turistas.</i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Georgia, 'Times New Roman'; line-height: 16px;"><i>Es un gran honor ser seleccionado para la Seminci, aunque desearía haber podido ir en persona. Espero que el público disfrute con la película y con el programa de este maravilloso festival.</i></span></div>
