The Physical Cinema Festival has a new artistic vision each year. The works feature innovative and fresh approaches. Some films tell traditional or unconventional stories, while others are abstract, and some works or installations dissolve or create a poetic experience of time and space. The Physical Cinema Festival has collaborated with Stockfish since 2019.

This year, we particularly celebrate intriguing guests at the festival. German artist Martin Klukas will present his award-winning film, Ongoing Process of Trying to Make Sense, characterized by humor and insight. Irish artist Clare Langan will showcase her beautiful film Heart of a Tree, featuring music by Jóhann Jóhannsson. Clare will also hold a masterclass, providing insight into her creative process and how she shapes her unique artistic vision in the Icelandic landscape.

The artistic director of Physical Cinema is Helena Jónsdóttir.
