SUMMARY:Helmut Newton: The Bad and the Beautiful
DESCRIPTION:Hann var einn af stóru meisturum ljósmyndalistarinnar\, sannkölluð goðsögn. Glæsilegur\, gáskafullur\, hugvitssamur\, ögrandi\, hvetjandi. Í ár\, sextán árum eftir dauða Helmuts Newtons í Los Angeles\, hefði hann orðið 100 ára gamall. Líf sem var eins og kvikmynd birtist nú\, í fyrsta sinn\, á hvíta tjaldinu. \n— \nHe was one of the Great Masters of photography\, a legend. Elegant\, playful\, inventive\, provocative\, inspirational – and himself inspired by sharp observation and the deep roots of his childhood in Berlin of the 1920s. Berlin was him\, and he was Berlin. But he also was much more. A cosmopolitan\, at home in New York and Paris\, Monte Carlo and Rome. And Helmut Newton still has a kind of cult status beyond the art world – even to this day\, 14 years after his tragic death in Los Angeles. In 2020 he would have become 100 years old. A life like a movie – now\, for the first time to be told for the big screen. \nGermany / 2020 /Documentary / 93 min\nDirector: Gero von Boehm\nProducer: Felix von Boehm\nScreenplay: Gero von Boehm

Aðeins nokkrar vísbendingar leyfa áhorfendum að komast nær því að vita eitthvað um þetta undarlega umhverfi. \nMen of many ages gather in the same room to relax\, have fun and sing karaoke songs. The hours and days pass by without pause and we can barely say how long it’s been\, whether it is day or night\, who just woke up or who is going to sleep.

Sex augnablik frá okkar tíma\, eins og minningar þess heims sem við munum skilja eftir. \nA lullaby before the great disaster. Two pigeons visit a zoo without animals\, a snail measures his blood pressure at the doctors\, and in the CERN laboratory\, something has gone terribly wrong.

DESCRIPTION:Saga aðgerðarsinnans Gretu Thunberg er sögð í gegnum hrífandi og áður óséð efni í þessari persónulegu heimildarmynd eftir sænska leikstjórann Nathan Grossman. Grossman fylgir Gretu – feimnum menntaskólanema með Asperger heilkenni – við hvert fótmál og skrásetur vegferð hennar\, allt frá eins manns loftslagsverkfalli hennar fyrir utan sænska þingið sem hafði þau áhrif að sambærileg verkföll voru haldin í skólum um allan heim. \nThe story of teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg is told through compelling\, never-before-seen footage in this intimate documentary from Swedish director Nathan Grossman. Starting with her one-person school strike for climate justice outside the Swedish Parliament\, Grossman follows Greta – a shy student with Asperger’s – in her rise to prominence\, and her galvanizing global impact as she sparks school strikes around the world. The film culminates with her astonishing wind-powered voyage across the Atlantic Ocean to speak at the UN Climate Action Summit in New York City. \nSweden / 2020 / Documentary/ 98 min\nDirector: Nathan Grossman

SUMMARY:INTERNATIONAL SHORTS II
DESCRIPTION:DRIFTING\nREKI / 漂流\nChina and United States / 2019 / 16 min / Short Fiction\nDirectors: HanXuing Bo\nNordic Premiere / Norðurlandafrumsýning \nYan er ólöglegt annað barn foreldra sinna\, þar sem hann fæddist í Kína þegar lög og reglur kváðu á um að hjón mættu aðeins eignast eitt barn. Til að forðast það að vera refsað af yfirvöldum sendu foreldrarnir eldri systur Yan í felur og ólu soninn upp sem stúlku. Nú er Yan orðinn ungur maður og á í innri baráttu við kynvitund sína. Hans eina leið til að flýja veruleikann um stund er að spóla um á gömlum leigubíl föður síns á yfirgefnum bílastæðum. \nYan is an illegal second child born during the One-Child policy. To avoid government punishment\, Yan’s parents hid their oldest daughter in the countryside and raised Yan as a girl. Now a young adult\, Yan struggles with his gender identity and being treated as an outcast in a conservative society. His sole escape is speeding around in his father’s old taxi through abandoned parking lots. \nTHE GOLDEN LEGEND\nGullna goðsögnin / LEYENDA DORADA\nSpain / 2019 / Short Fiction / 11 min / Drama\, Fantasy\nDirectors: Chema García Ibarra and Ion De Sosa\nWriter: Chema Garcia Ibarra\nProducer: Leire Apellaniz \nFólk á öllum aldri skemmtir sér við sundlaugina í Montánchez á Spáni. Þau njóta stundarinnar til fulls undir árvökulu augnliti hinnar heilögu guðsmóður. Átök og ósætti hverfa á braut og þorpsbúar fá verðskuldaða hvíld. \nPeople of all ages enjoy themselves at the pool in Montánchez in Spain. It’s an almost utopian depiction of community\, under the gaze of Our Lady of Consolation. While conflicts and aggression have a siesta\, the villagers take a well deserved break. \nMOM’S MOVIE\nMyndin hennar mömmu\nGreece and Spain / 13 min / 2019 / Short Fiction\nDirectors: Stella Kyriakopoulos\nProducer: Fani Skartouli\nNordic Premiere / Norðurlandafrumsýning \nLífsbarátta\, móðurhlutverkið og kvikmyndir eru til umfjöllunar. Stolta móðirin Maria tekur upp myndband af tveggja ára gamalli dóttur sinni synda í sundlaug í bakgarðinum. Hún lendir þó í tæknilegum erfiðleikum og þarf loks að ganga langt til að koma í veg fyrir martröð allra foreldra. Löngun manneskjunnar til að taka myndir og myndbönd af veruleikanum truflar oft hinar raunverulegu aðstæður með hugsanlega hörmulegum afleiðingum. \nSurvival\, motherhood\, and movies all collide in a backyard pool. While proudly filming her 2-year-old daughter’s survival swimming graduation exam in her backyard pool\, Maria runs into technical difficulties. A disturbing insight into the extremities a mother goes to prevent any parent’s worst nightmare. The human desire to record and capture reality distracts from the reality of the situation with potentially catastrophic implications. \nFORGET ALBERTO FOR NOW\nGLEYMDU ALBERTO NÚNA\nGermany / 18 min / Short Documentary / 2020\nDirectors: Beina Xu\nNordic Premiere / Norðurlandafrumsýning \nFlóttamaður sem er aðeins þekktur undir nafninu Alberto flýr frá Aþenu til Brussel á fölsuðu vegabréfi. Þremur árum síðar reynir lítið kvikmyndagerðarteymi frá Berlín að gera kvikmynd af ferðalagi hans. Hlutirnir fara hins vegar á allt annan veg\, og þeir enda á því að kvikmynda dúfur. Hvað er svosem heimildarmynd? Efniviðurinn verður sjálft viðfangsefnið. Hvar stöndum við á milli myndar og merkingar? \nA refugee known only as Alberto flies from Athens to Brussels on a fake passport. Three years later\, a small crew from Berlin tries to make a film about his journey. Things fall apart. They film pigeons instead. The artifice of the documentary becomes the subject itself: where do we stand between image and meaning? \nTHE LAMB OF GOD\nLAMB GUÐS / O CORDEIRO DE DEUS\nPortugal\, France / 15 min / Short Fiction / 2020\nDirector: David Pinheiro Vicente\nWriter: David Pinheiro Vicente\nProducers: Gabriel Abrantes\, Jérôme Blesson\nNordic Premiere / Norðurlandafrumsýning \nSumarfögnuður í portúgölsku þorpi er fullur af tilfinningum og ofbeldi\, eins og sjá má í þessari dularfullu mynd um samhenta fjölskyldu. \nThe summer festivities of a Portuguese village are suffused with sensuality and violence in this enigmatic portrait of a tightly knit family. \nCLOUD FOREST\nSKÝJASKÓGUR\nNetherlands / 18 min / 2019 / Short Documentary\nDirector: Eliane Esther Bots\nProducer: Manon Bovenkerk \nÆvintýraleg stuttmynd um fimm stelpur sem fara með áhorfendur í ferðalag um reynslu foreldra sinna af stríðinu í fyrrum Júgóslavíu. Stríð sem þær upplifðu ekki sjálfar. Frásagnirnar eru samblanda af staðreyndum og hugmyndum\, minningum og hughrifum og upplifunum sem foreldrarnir sögðu dætrum sínum. Á meðan stúlkurnar hlusta á sjálfar sig verður áhorfandinn hluti af nánum samskiptum fjölskyldnanna. \nA fairytale-like film in which five girls take us on a journey through their parents’ experiences of the war in the former Yugoslavia\, a war which the girls haven’t physically experienced themselves. The narratives are a combination of facts and imaginings\, memories and impressions\, transferred from the parents to their daughters. It is in the shadows where these narratives can unfold. While the girls listen to themselves\, the viewer becomes part of their intimate family circle. \nBETWEEN YOU AND MILAGROS\nENTRE TÚ Y MILAGROS\nColumbia / 2020 / 20 min / Short Drama\nDirector: Mariana Saffon\nWriters: Mariana Saffon\, Nathalie Álvarez Mesén \nMilagros er fimmtán ára\, og veröld hennar snýst enn í kringum móður hennar. Óvænt kynni við dauðann fá hana hins vegar til að efast um samband þeirra og sína eigin tilvist. \nAt fifteen\, Milagros’ world still revolves around her mother’s affection. This summer an unexpected encounter with death will make her question their relationship and her own existence.

Á meðan Ida berst við að bjarga systur sinni afhjúpast brestirnir í sambandi þeirra og þegar allt virðist tapað kemur í ljós að það er miklu meira í húfi. \nA few days after Christmas\, Swedish/Norwegian half-sisters\, Ida and Tuva\, set out on a winter dive in a remote part of the Norwegian coastline. Towards the end of the dive\, a rockslide traps Tuva underwater.

DESCRIPTION:Correspondence\nBréfaskipti / Correspondencia\nSpain\, Chile / 2020 / 19 min / Short Fiction\nDirectors: Dominga Sotomayor and Carla Simón\nWriters: Dominga Sotomayor and Carla Simón\nProducers: Carla Sospedra\, Maria Zamora\, Dominga Sotomayor \nÍ formi kvikmyndaðra bréfasamtala fjalla tveir ungir kvikmyndagerðarmenn um kvikmyndir\, fjölskyldur\, arfleið og móðurhlutverkið. Hugleiðingar þeirra eru persónulegar og djúpstæðar og birtast í mikilfenglegum myndum teknum dag frá degi – og bergmála skyndilega í pólitískri neyð heimalandsins. Carla Simón var fyrsta konan til að vinna Gullna hlébarðann fyrir leikstjórn á Locarno kvikmyndahátíðinni árið 2018. \nIn the form of a filmed epistolary conversation\, two young filmmakers discuss film\, present and past family\, heritage\, and maternity. The personal and profound reflections—which are embodied in the graceful images taken day-to-day—are suddenly echoed by the political emergency faced by her country. Carla Simón made history at the Locarno Film Festival in 2018 becoming the first woman to win the Golden Leopard Award for Best Direction. \nON HOLD // Poikien puhelin\nÍ bið\nFinland / 2020 / 21 min / Short Documentary\nDirectors: Laura Rantanen \nVissirðu að kynþroskaskeiðið varir að eilífu? On Hold er tilraunastuttmynd sem skoðar bæði félagslega og erfðafræðilega þætti karlmennskunnar. Myndin er byggð á nafnlausum símtölum sem bárust hjálparsíma fyrir drengi og unga menn undir 20 ára. \nDid you know puberty lasts forever? On Hold is an experimental documentary short film contemplating the themes of intergenerationality and socially constructed masculinity. The film is based on anonymous phone calls dialed to a helpline for boys and young men under 20 years of age. \nVolcano: What does a lake dream?\nEldfjall: Hvað dreymir lækinn?\nVulcão: O Que Sonha um Lago?\nFrance and Portugal / 2020 / 21 min / Short Documentary\nDirectors: Diana Vidrascu\nWriters: Diana Vidrascu\, Johan Härnsten\nProducers: Diana Vidrascu\, Jesse James\nNordic Premiere / Norðurlandafrumsýning \nFagurfræðileg og myndræn framsetning í bland við vísindalegar frásagnir og hljóðverk. Áhorfandi fer inn í heim náttúrumynda sem breytast í truflandi en áhugaverðan\, óraunverulegan og stjórnlausan heim. \nA film mixing aesthetic and photographic research with mythological and scientific narratives and soundwork. Lulled by the stories told by the protagonists\, we are caught up in these images of nature that transform into a disturbing but exciting\, unreal and uncontrollable world. \nHEAVEN REACHES DOWN TO EARTH\nHIMNARNIR TEYGJA SIG NIÐUR AÐ JÖRÐU\nSouth Africa / 10 min / Short Fiction / 2020\nDirector: Tebogo Malebogo\nProducer: Petrus van Staden\nWorld Premiere / Heimsfrumsýning \nStaða hinsegin fólks í Afríku\, hefðbundnar væntingar til karlmanna í afrískri menningu\, og einangrunin sem mörg okkar finna tvinnast saman í myndinni. Myndin veitir innsýn í reynsluheim þeirra Tau og Tumelo\, en þegar Tau uppgötvar kynhneigð sína og sendir það Tumelo í sína eigin sjálfsskoðunarvegferð. \nWe find Heaven Reaches Down to Earth at a crossroads of emerging stories: queerness in Africa\, the traditional expectations of men within those African cultures\, and the isolation that many of us find ourselves currently dealing with\, as seen through the experiences of two young men\, Tau and Tumelo. The film serves as a snapshot of a moment in which Tau’s realization about his sexual orientation acts as an accelerant that sets Tumelo on his own journey. \nDUMMY\nGERVI // Atkūrimas\nLithuania / 2020 / 13 min\nDirector: Laurynas Bareiša \nGlæpamaður notar andlitslausa brúðu til að endurleika grimmilegan glæp.

But surprisingly he is not the one being judged. There seems to be an odd one out in the investigative group. \nI AM AFRAID TO FORGET YOUR FACE\nÉG ER HRÆDDUR UM AÐ GLEYMA ANDLITINU ÞÍNU\nEgypt\, France\, Belgium\, Qatar / 15 min / 2020 / Sort Fiction / Drama\nDirectors: Sameh Alaa\nWriter: Sameh Alaa\nProducers: Muhammad Taymour\, Martin Jérôme\nNordic Premiere / Norðurlandafrumsýning \nEftir að hafa verið aðskilin í 82 daga ferðast Adam um erfiðan veg til að verða sameinaður ástinni sinni\, sama hvað það kostar. \nAfter being separated for 82 days\, Adam travels down a rough road to be reunited with the one he loves\, whatever it takes.

SUMMARY:So real\, so very now\, The One Minutes
DESCRIPTION:‘so real\, so very now’ is curated by Misha de Ridder and is intended as an exercise in seeing: to look\, to look again and to look anew. Perception is the point of departure for a series of experiments in video within the restraint of one minute. \nAn open call was preceded by a workshop with students of Gerrit Rietveld Academiein Amsterdam in order the investigate the nature of the real and now and set perimeters for the series. The workshop concluded with the following statement: “Perceptual reality is not objective since it is already framed (by the very act of looking)\, but it is also not subjective as it is not yet categorized (no meaning has been attached to it yet). It is more like a sort of state than actual reality. This state we will call ‘pure perception’\, which is thus inherently open for interpretation. It coincides with the medium. In art making to stay in the realm of ‘pure perception’ means the work of art\, for the viewer\, should be as open for interpretation as possible. The artist should stay within this ambiguous zone which you cannot fully grasp\, since it is here where we seem to connect with or relate to the world as unknown given. (Regardless if this reality actually exists in the world or ‘in the mind’.) The camera\, here understood as ‘looking machine’\, is ideally suited for working in this realm of the ‘pure perception’. This is because the ‘machine reality’ is neither the reality before interpretation (the camera reality is already framed and transformation has already started)\, nor is there interpretation since the camera is not conscious\, it is not a subject\, it has no brain. The artist working with photography and film who aims to work in the realm of ‘pure perception’ should ‘go with’ the output of the camera (working in a level of concentration where thought is virtually absent). And subsequently present it intuitively (abstain from attaching meaning\, so far this is actually possible) in such a way that the final work is true to the realm of ‘pure perception’. The final work should be as open for interpretation as possible and perhaps even more important\, it should almost magically incite the viewer to find new meaning the more he looks. (To look\, to look again\, to look anew.)” \nPARTICIPATING ARTISTS:\nMisha de Ridder\, Good Morning Shanghai\, 2020\nJette Kelholt\, Maan 2020\nSophie van den Berg\, Metronome\, 2020\nCristina Planas\, 9.7 billion of us\, 2020\nTycho Hupperets\, COO44\, 2020\nLuna Deckers\, Holding strength\, 2020\nMarie Diamant\, Water 1\, 2020\nJiyan Düyü\, Listening\, 2020\nMarie Diamant\, Water 2\, 2020\nAlex Harris\, TRAM THREADS\, 2020\nTycho Hupperets\, Petit Battement\, 2020\nAndrea Bordoli\, TREASUREISLAND\, 2020\nJosh Lee\, c-a-m\, 2020\nHeleen Mineur\, Evidence of non-harmonious being\, 2020\nTobias Niemeyer\, homely spirits\, 2020\nAndrea Bordoli\, SHELLS\, 2020\nJette Keltholt\, okii\, 2020
