SHORTFISH – SPRETTFISKUR
In addition, a lineup of 20 short films will be participating in the short film competition- Sprettfiskur or Shortfish in english. Shortfish focuses on the promotion and discovery of new talent; 4 categories are registered and awarded: Best short narrative, Best short documentary, Best music video and Best short experimental. Cash prices are supported by Industry businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shortfish makes Stockfish a valuable showcase for new talent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PHYSICAL CINEMA<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stockfish will also host a\u00a0side experimental program curated by Physical Cinema\u00a0<\/strong>programmer Helena J\u00f3nsd\u00f3ttir.\u00a0Selected works are bordering on physical performance, visual arts, sound and cinema. The films and installations in the program are innovative and refreshing in their approach. Some films have challenging storylines, some are abstract, and other installations deconstruct or render a poetic experience of space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More updates on the program will be expected soon.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
