The Bountiful Land - Icelandic Food Tradition and Food History
Producer
Elín Methúsalemsdóttir and her family, from the old farm Bustarfell, take us through the history of Icelandic food traditions, from the settlement period to the present day. In the beginning, Icelandic cooking was characterized by scarcity, and Icelanders had to be extremely resourceful with the little that nature provided. Now, however, the Icelandic kitchen exists in the modern world, influenced by immigration, food tourism, and global trends in farming and cuisine.

We Are Still Here
Screenplay
The tiny village of Flateyri in North West Iceland is a community in crisis. The young people have moved away, the fish factory and the recording studio have been sold to make holiday homes, and one third of its residents are now Polish people who came only for the work. Nestled inside the West Fjords, this quaint outpost is perched upon a narrow finger of land which juts out into Önundarfjörður, situated well within striking distance to the fertile fishing grounds that ultimately gave rise to this settlement.
