Directed by Hlynur Pálmason

The expansive, wintry landscapes of rural Iceland and Denmark provide the majestic physical and psychological backdrops to the breathtaking films of Hlynur Pálmason, director of the acclaimed family portrait THE LOVE THAT REMAINS. Whether capturing the rift that forms between two brothers working in an isolated limestone quarry in his intense feature debut WINTER BROTHERS or the arduous journey of a Danish priest across nineteenth-century Iceland in his painterly epic GODLAND, Pálmason’s films employ a sensorially rich visual lyricism to probe profound questions of faith, masculinity, time’s passage, and the human relationship to nature.
