Clean wins Best Icelandic Short at Northern Wave

We have received the exciting news that CLEAN was honored with the award for Best Icelandic Short Film at the Northern Wave Film Festival recently.

The jury, consisting of Árni Ólafur Ásgeirsson, Kristín Jóhannesdóttir and Romain Gavras had the following to say about Clean: 

"The film is a merciless view of the auto destruction of a human being. We witness the downfall of the protagonist and the unmasking of the spiraling deception of addiction.   A tour de force performance supported by rough mise en scene and harsh frontal camerawork, create an energetic and consistent piece of film."

Thank you, Northern Wave !    -- Takk fyrir okkur.
