A Silent Explosion
Camera Operator
Magnús' life has been colourful, mostly because he is never satisfied with the status quo. In his art he is constantly changing and his interest lies in every field of art. To his mind being an artist is an inner need or compulsion and does not necessarily require being talented at drawing. "Drawing has hardly anything to do with art, no more than anything else. It is more important for að so-called artist to know how to manipulate a microphone like this one".

Amalgam
Director
The film is a conversation between the director and the composer. The image and the music relate to each other, creating a very special kind of a tension.

Opacity
Producer
A modern businessman surrounded by all the trappings of success, picks up a beautiful woman who is hitchhiking along a lonely stretch of road in the south. Quiet, mysterious, the woman is an artist on the way to Meðalland to sketch. Always ready to take advantage of an opportunity, the young man adjusts his itinerary to help the beautiful artist, and with luck, he thinks, help himself add another notch to his sexual belt. But all is not what it seems in this world. The question arises as to whether all the expensive aids of modern affluent society can help him avoid what appear to be forces that transcend time - or is it all imagination, or hallucination, or both?
