An appropriately frosty selection of films are set to screen this July as part of an Icelandic programme curated by ACMI's Roberta Ciabarra.
Highlighting two of Reykjavik's eminent directors, Fridrik Thór Fridriksson and Baltasar Kormákur, there are nine award-winning films to explore from the early '90s up to today.
For those of you aurally attuned, check out Fridriksson's Rock in Reykjavik (Rokk í reykjavík) to see some 1980s post-punk panache and a teenaged Björk in one of her earlier bands.
If you feel like something a little more dramatic, with a touch of slapstick, why not try Kormákur's 2008 White Night Wedding (Brúdguminn), which was officially selected for the Best Foreign Film Oscar, as well as being the highest grossing film in Icelandic box office history.
From cockle-warming drama to icy criminal thrillers, this programme delivers something for every film lover and is a perfect warm-up for MIFF. Both single tickets and passes are available.
