“Art will not disappear into nothingness; it will disappear into everything”
Some might be quick to judge a filmmakers’ manifesto from 1969, addressing the problems of Cuban post-revolutionary cinema as having more a historic relevance than being a practical guide to digital-era filmmakers. After recently rereading Julio García Espinosa’s For an Imperfect Cinema, I’m gripped by excitement by the profound analysis of the film medium’s contradictions and possibilities, and not the least impressed with how every assertion seems to resonate with my own practical, and every-day experiences.

For a different kind of filmmaking blog
The constantly updating blogs culture has a narcotic like effect. I know I’m not the only one who feels the need to periodically revise a slate of blog and news site for that mild-endorfine releasing sensation of something new and noteworthy “happening”.

“Amor Fati” video out and a few projects brewing
I had the great pleasure of being part of producing a video for ‘chillwave’ artist Washed out, directed by Yoonha Park. It was a roadrip kind of a shoot, travelling around Iceland getting casual yet inspiring shots around the country.
Meginlandið:A short film I shot and edited, Meginlandið and was directed by Hallur Örn Árnason, will be screening at this year’s RIFF. It’s a film based on a Charles Bukowski poem, and the visuals try to follow his harsh, dry and synical tone. Perhaps not the most flattering footage I have shot.
Disappear:
Another short I shot is soon comming out, Disappear, directed by Heimir Freyr Hlöðversson.

Klapp Guerrilla film campaign and Icelandic Cinema Online
This spring I’ve been involved in two community oriented projects. I was the main organizer of the Klapp co-op’s guerrilla film campaign. With funding from Reykjavik municipality we helped a group of 10 film makers organize, develop and equip short films which premiered in Bíó Paradís in May. See this article in Reykjavik Grapvine.
I was also responsible for the technical development of Icelandic Cinema Online, a promising VOD platform for Icelandic cinema. Check it out and rent some films – some are even free.

Fashion shots
Not the final product – just some shots from one of the cameras in promo shoot I did for Nikita Clothing. Funny to try this type of “beauty” shots. Put soft, even light from both sides of the camera, and diffused a practical lamp which was already in the ceiling for hairlight.

Interactive sea monster table
Flew on an 8 man plane over to Bíldudalur a few weeks ago to shoot this interactive exhibition that Gagarín did for the local monster museum. As is fitting for monster exhibitons, the light was barely enough for the human eye, but I decided to keep to current lighting as much as possible and just live with the hight ISO noise.
